Diabetes is a metabolic condition. The composition of the gut microbiota is altered in
diabetes with reduced levels of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) producers, notably butyrate …

It is generally accepted that carbohydrate fermentation results in beneficial effects for the
host because of the generation of short chain fatty acids, whereas protein fermentation is …

Patients and animals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) exhibit profound alterations in the
gut environment including shifts in microbial composition, increased fecal pH, and increased …

Results: A total of 14 trials involving 143 participants met the eligibility criteria. Dietary fiber
supplementation significantly reduced serum urea and creatinine levels in the primary …

Since many years, the role of the colonic microbiota in maintaining the host's overall health
and well‐being has been recognized. Dietary modulation of the microbiota composition and …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been associated with changes in gut microbial ecology,
or “dysbiosis,” which may contribute to disease progression. Recent studies have focused …

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of dietary NDF on apparent ileal
and fecal digestibility and portal flux of nitrogen (N) and amino acids, and on N retention in …

Metabolism of protein by gut bacteria is potentially detrimental due to the production of toxic
metabolites, such as ammonia, amines, p-cresol, and indole. The consumption of prebiotic …

Background: High-amylose-maize resistant starch type 2 (HAMRS2) is a fermentable dietary
fiber known to alter the gut milieu, including the gut microbiota, which may explain the …

Background Cats are strict carnivores but possess a complex gastrointestinal (GI) microbial
community that actively ferments dietary substrates that are not digested and reach the …
