Isobutyrate confers resistance to inflammatory bowel disease through host–microbiota interactions in pigs. Isobutyrate levels are significantly decreased in Crohn’s disease patients (A) and DSS-induced colitis of mice and pigs (B and C), and supplementation with isobutyrate alleviates colitis in piglets.
