Prebiotic Fibers and Metabolic Syndrome: A Link Between Gut Health, Inflammation, and Mental Well-Being
31 décembre 2024
Low-grade systemic inflammation plays a key role in brain activity and
mental disorders, particularly among individuals with metabolic syndrome
(MetS). Recent research highlights the potential of the gut microbiota in
modulating inflammation through the production of short-chain fatty acids
(SCFAs) derived from microbial fermentation of dietary fibers. This study
explores the effects of a diverse prebiotic fiber blend on inflammation, gut
microbiota, and psychological symptoms in patients with MetS.
Can Prebiotic Fibers Improve Metabolic Syndrome Symptoms?
In this study, 60 adults with MetS were randomly divided into two groups:Sign in to read the rest
