Production of Gut Microbiota-Derived Metabolites in Response to Different Fatty Acid Profiles

Obesity, Abdominal | Diabete Type 2

The proposed project mainly aims to investigate the microbial processes leading to dietary metabolites production, independently of long-term microbiota adaptation to the diet, by measuring the microbiota-derived metabolite production from a meal sequence rich in saturated fatty acids (SFA) or the same meals but rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in individuals with or without obesity and Type 2 diabetes (T2D)
