Cardiorespiratory fitness as a predictor of intestinal microbial diversity and distinct metagenomic functions
8 Aug 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Reduced microbial diversity in human intestines has been implicated in various conditions such as diabetes, colorectal cancer, and inflammatory bowel disease. The role of physical fitness in the context of human intestinal microbiota is currently not known. We used high-throughput sequencing to analyze fecal microbiota of 39 healthy participants with similar age, BMI, and diets but with varying...
