Effects of defatted rice bran-fortified bread on gut microbiome, cardiovascular risk, gut discomfort, wellbeing and gut physiology in healthy adults with low dietary fibre intake
This is the first human study to show that a high-DF DRB-fortified bread improved DF intake, HDL cholesterol profiles, and may affect the gut microbiota composition in healthy adults with low DF intake. These findings support the substitution of white bread with DRB-fortified bread as an effective method to improve DF intake, which may have subsequent benefits on gut physiology and metabolic health.
