Article Synopsis
- The gut microbiome is influenced significantly by diet throughout life, with maternal milk impacting long-term health in infants and adult diet needing further study for lasting effects.
- In a study with 46 Labrador retriever dogs, a shift from a complex diet to highly purified diets led to minor effects on microbiome diversity but notable changes in specific bacteria and genetic pathways associated with diet.
- Upon returning to the original diet, the microbiome of the dogs reconstituted quickly, indicating that while diets can induce changes, sustained dietary manipulation is necessary for lasting effects in adult gut microbiomes.
