topicPolydextrose Gut Microbiota Randomized Trial
claimWe hypothesised that dietary fibres with distinct fermentative properties, resistant starch (RS) and polydextrose (PD), would differentially alter BA profiles in plasma and faeces through gut microbiota-mediated mechanisms.

topicPolydextrose Gut Microbiota Randomized Trial
claimAlthough the pathogenesis of IBD is still unclear, it is suggested to be associated with the change of interaction between environment and intestinal microbiota, which leads to the abnormal immune response of genetically susceptible individuals ().
