Via high-butyrate diet intervention and adoptive transfer experiments, it confirmed that a high-butyrate diet can induce the differentiation of follicular Tregs through HDAC inhibition, suppress the production of type II collagen (CII)-specific autoantibodies, and reduce joint swelling and bone erosion
Additionally, the reliability of these findings is compromised by the small number of participants and the short duration of the treatments, which lasted only 4 and 8 weeks
