Abstract:Background/Aims
A high-fat diet (HFD) causes dysbiosis and promotes inflammatory responses in the colon. This study aims to evaluate the effects of
Clostridium butyricum
on HFD-induced gut microbial changes in rats.
Methods
Six-week-old Fischer-344 rats with both sexes were given a control or HFD during 8 weeks, and 1-to-100-fold diluted
Clostridium butyricum
were administered by gavage. Fecal microbiota analyses wer… Show more
