Dietary Administration of a Soybean Fermented Preparation Reshapes Gut Microbial Community Structure and Colonic Mucosal Features in BALB/c Mice

Long-term SFP supplementation was associated with sustained alterations in gut microbial composition and measurable histological changes in the colonic mucosa. While these findings indicate that SFP intake influences microbial structure and goblet cell abundance, further studies are required to determine the functional and physiological implications of these changes, particularly in relation to epithelial barrier function and host health.
