简要总结
A randomized, placebo controlled crossover study investigating the potential metabolic effects of the naturally occurring gut microbe Ruminococcus torques in healthy, overweight adults.
详细描述
By analyzing blood samples, indirect calorimetric as well as thermographic assessment of clavicular temperature we want to investigate whether or not the commensal gut bacterium Ruminococcus toqrues strain ATCC 27756 has any metabolic effects in healthy adults. The subjects will recieve the intervention with the live bacterium given through a duodenal feeding tube. The trial is double blinded and placebo controlled using a crossover design. Subjects will be given an intervention with either placebo or Ruminococcus on two different study days with up to six weeks of wash-out between each study day.
