Walnut Consumption Alters the Gastrointestinal Microbiota Microbially Derived Secondary Bile Acids and Health Markers in Healthy Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial

摘要

BackgroundEpidemiologic data suggest that diets rich in nuts have beneficial health effects, including reducing total and cause-specific mortality from cancer and heart disease. Although there is accumulating preclinical evidence that walnuts beneficially affect the gastrointestinal microbiota and gut and metabolic health, these relations have not been investigated in humans.
