Dietary fibers boost gut microbiota-produced B vitamin pool and alter host immune landscape

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Dietary fibers can alter microbial metabolic output in support of healthy immune function; however, the impact of distinct fiber sources and immunomodulatory effects beyond short-chain fatty acid production are underexplored. In an effort to discern the effects of diverse fibers on host immunity, we employed five distinct rodent diets with varying fiber content and source in specific-pathogen-free,...
