简要总结
The study will investigate the effect of cereal based prebiotic fibres on intestinal health and functioning and host metabolism.
详细描述
A human dietary intervention study will be performed in overweight to obese subjects with a slow gastrointestinal transit time comparing the effects of a soluble prebiotic fibre vs. placebo on gut health, including gut microbiota composition, gastrointestinal transit time, metabolic health and quality of life.
