Gut Microbiome Genes Involved in Plant and Mucin Breakdown Correlate with Diet and Gastrointestinal Inflammation in Healthy United States Adults
These results support the relevance of diet-microbiome relationships even in healthy adults, and that reduction of Muc2Plant, via dietary and/or microbial interventions, would be a beneficial health target to potentially prevent dysbiosis and reduce GI inflammation. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02367287.
