简要总结

The aim of the study is to estimate the effect size of a 5-week consumption period of different dietary non-digestible polysaccharides (NPS) on antibody response to influenza vaccination and cellular immunity of healthy volunteers (aged ≥ 50) for clarifying whether these NPS may enable enhancement of immune defence and to estimate the sample size for a confirmative trial. Furthermore the effects on faecal microbiota and its metabolites will be investigated.

详细描述

The study is conducted in the frame of the collaborative project 'FibeBiotics' (Nr. 289517) (Fibers as support of the Gut and Immune function of Elderly - From polysaccharide compound to health claim) within the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) for Research and Technological Development of the European Union (EU).
