Probiotic Chocolate Containing Dad-13 Alters the Gut Microbiota Composition of Undernourished Children in Lombok: A Randomized Double-Blind Trial.

The present study investigated the ingestion effect of chocolate probiotic containing Dad-13 in undernourished children. A 100-day observation was conducted on undernourished children in Lombok, who were divided into probiotic ( = 28) and placebo ( = 28) groups. Fecal sampling was performed on the 10 and 100 days and further analyzed for gut microbiota composition, short-chain fatty acid (SCFA), and fecal pH.

Comparative analysis of short-chain fatty acid levels in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis rat model: Impact of high-fat high-fructose (HFHF), high fat, and Western diets.

The evidence on the role of diets in the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) was limited. The aim of this study was to assess the potential effects of high-fat high-fructose (HFHF), high-fat, and Western diets on the levels of SCFA. A research experiment employing a post-test-only control group design was carried out from January to April 2022.

Gut Microbiota Composition in Undernourished Children Associated with Diet and Sociodemographic Factors: A Case-Control Study in Indonesia.

Malnutrition, which consists of undernutrition and overnutrition, is associated with gut microbiota composition, diet, and sociodemographic factors. Undernutrition is a nutrient deficiency that that should be identified to prevent other diseases. In this study, we evaluate the gut microbiota composition in undernourished children in association with diet and sociodemographic factors.
