Numerous studies have established that prebiotic ingredients in foods and dietary supplements may play a role in supporting human health. Over the three decades that have passed since prebiotics were first defined as a concept, research has revealed a complex universe of prebiotic-induced changes to the human microbiota. There are strong indications of a direct link between these prebiotic-induced changes and specific health benefits.

- * Seven of the reviews will look into clinical and biological effects of FF on various health indicators across organ systems, while the other nine will explore broader topics like bioactive compounds, safety, and personalized nutrition related to FF.
- * Each review will consist of a systematic analysis of human studies, insights into the mechanisms behind observed health outcomes, and characterization of the FF being studied, culminating in a strategic roadmap for future research in the field.
The early gut microbiota composition is fundamentally important for piglet health, affecting long-term microbiome development and immunity. In this study, the gut microbiota of postparturient dams was compared with that of their offspring in three Finnish pig farms at three growth phases. The differences in fecal microbiota of three study development groups (Good, Poorly, and PrematureDeath) were analyzed at birth (initial exposure phase), weaning (transitional phase), and before slaughter (stable phase).

Methods: Tumor, adjacent normal tissue, and blood samples of 25 patients were collected together with clinical details.
