Effect of Diets on the Gut Microbiota Composition and Cardiometabolic Wellbeing

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Healthy

• Registration Number: NCT03539666
• Lead Sponsor: South Dakota State University

Brief Summary

The project will characterize human gut microbiome response to two different diets and the possible physiological and biochemical implications of such response on cardiometabolic risk factors. The study will use controlled-feeding, systems-biology, metagenomic, and metabolomic approaches to examine American dietary patterns.

Detailed Description

The study will use controlled-feeding, systems-biology, metagenomic, and metabolomic approaches to examine American dietary patterns.
