Summary of mechanistic insights, inflammatory effects and enteric disease outcomes driven by saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Improved, worsened or no difference (N.D) describes the severity of diarrheal infectious outcomes when compared to other diets tested. If two studies had conflicting results, both outcomes are listed. Abbreviations: IAP, intestinal alkaline phosphatase; SPM, specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators; SCFA, short-chain fatty acids; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; ARA, arachidonic acid; EPEC, Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli.
