Abstract:INTRODUCTION
Early life growth restriction increases susceptibility to non‐communicable adult‐onset diseases. However, there is minimal mechanistic rationale for elevated disease risk. The gut microbiome assists in regulating host physiological processes, with emerging evidence suggesting microbiome dysregulation leads to increased risk of chronic disease. Thus, the purpose of this investigation was to determine differences in the gut microbiome of growth restricted mice as compared to non‐restricted mice.
