This evidence was useful in confirming the role of butyrate in preventing renal fibrosis through the reduction of TGF-β1 and provided a useful basis for subsequent studies on dietary supplementation with Acacia(sen) SUPERGUMTM (gum arabic) that, increasing systemic levels of butyrate, may therefore have a potential beneficial effect in renal disease through the suppression of TGF-β1 activity [145,146,147,148]. Here, TGFB1 is linked to kidney disorder.
