A prospective randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-response relationship study to investigate the efficacy of fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) on human gut microflora
Homo sapiens
Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), one of the most researched dietary fibre supplements, is primarily known for its Bifidogenic capabilities. However aspects such as (a) the effects of variable quantities of FOS intake on gut microbiota, and (b) the temporal &#8216;dynamics&#8217; of gut microbiota has not been studied in detail. Primary objective of this study was to investigate the above mentioned aspects through a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-response relationship study. A second objective was to measure the effect of FOS on random blood sugar, calcium, and triglycerides in healthy, adult, human participants. The uploaded sequence data corresponds to 621 stool samples collected from 80 healthy individuals at nine time-points.
