To assess the association between the gut inflammatory response and gut integrity with SCFAs levels, protein levels of TNF-α, TNFR1, phosphorylation of IkBα, gut tight junction proteins, and binding activity of NF-kB P65 at 12 weeks PT were correlated with changes in fecal SCFAs levels post-stroke. The gene discussed is TNFRSF1A; the disease is stroke disorder.
