Impact of fructooligosaccharides on gut microbiota composition and metabolite production: implications for childhood obesity
This study highlights changes in microbial structure, metabolite production, potential biomarkers, and altered metabolic pathways following FOS intervention. These findings provide valuable insights into the complex relationship between diet and gut microbiota in obese children and suggest that dietary interventions may influence pediatric health through modulation of the gut microbiome.
