All of the following are true about saccharolytic fermentation, EXCEPT:

A
Undigested fat conveed into sho chain fatty acids (SCFAs)
B
Action of GUT flora
C
Acetic acid, butyric acid and propionic acid are it products
D
SCFAs inhibit the growth of intestinal epithilial cells
High-Yield Explanation
Saccharolytic fermentation: The GUT flora have ceain enzymes which the humans lack these enzymes helps in the breakdown of ceain polysaccharides and conveing them into sho chain fatty acids (SCFAs) by a form of fermentation. Products include acetic acid, butyric acid and propionic acid. Gases and organic acids such as lactic acids are also produced. These products are used by the host cells. Sho chain fatty acids (SCFAs) increases the growth of intestinal epithelial cells and control their proliferation and differentiation.
