Dietary fiber is digested by intestinal microorganisms to form short-chain fatty acids, which exert anti-inflammatory activities through the G protein-coupled receptor pathway and histone acetylase. The cytokines refer to interleukin 23, interleukin 17 and interleukin beta, etc. They are produced by activation of innate and adaptive immunity after the microbiota is recognized by the immune system and are important contributors to the development of IBD.
