主要结局
Effect of resistant starch on weight gain in children
时间窗: Four weeks
During the 4 weeks while still consuming the yogurt supplements, 3 daily stool samples will be collected in the same manner as the baseline stool collections. Stool fatty acids from the baseline and week 4 stool samples will be compared by paired-t test. The stool microflora changes will be reported using descriptive statistics for the percent changes in the different bacterial phyla.
