Indole-3-acetic acid alleviates DSS-induced colitis by promoting the production of R-equol from <i>Bifidobacterium pseudolongum</i>

Abstract

Our study demonstrates that IAA, an indole derivative, alleviates DSS-induced colitis by promoting the production of Equol from <i>Bifidobacterium pseudolongum,</i> which provides new insights into gut homeostasis regulated by indole metabolites other than the classic AHR pathway.
