Effects of Diets Containing High Fat and Ammoniated Beef on Composition of Gut Microbiota
Objectives: Diets high in fat and sodium, with limited fruits and vegetables, are often acidic and may contribute to metabolic dysfunctions, including acidosis. In our previous study in high fat (HF) diet-induced obese mice, we demonstrated metabolic benefits including reduced fat mass in males and improved glucose clearance in females, from consuming diets containing pH-enhanced beef diets (via ammonium hydroxide, N), compared to non-ammoniated diets. However, underlying mechanisms remain unknown.
