Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), the end products of fermentation of dietary fibers by the
anaerobic intestinal microbiota, have been shown to exert multiple beneficial effects on …

This review considers fermentable carbohydrates and their role in maintaining health
through their availability as fuel for the gut microbiota. The microbiota possesses remarkably …

Consumption of resistant starch (RS) has been associated with various intestinal health
benefits, but knowledge of its effects on global gene expression in the colon is limited. The …

The microorganisms living in our gut have been a black box to us for a long time. However,
with the recent advances in high throughput DNA sequencing technologies, it is now …

The large scope of the human microbiome and its interactions with host tissues is currently
unfolding. The complex interactions of the human microbiome with the human metabolome …

Dietary resistant starch (RS) favours both colonic and whole-body metabolism and health,
mainly via its fermentation by microbiota in the colon that results in the production of short …

This study assessed the long-term effects of diets containing either a gelling fibre (alginate,
ALG), or a fermentable fibre (resistant starch, RS), or both (RSALG), on feeding patterns and …
