Gut microbiota changes in obese adults on a whole-grain wheat diet
This study aimed to investigate the effects of a 12-week whole-grain wheat dietary intervention on the gut ecosystem of obese adults. We conducted a controlled intervention trial and analyzed changes in the gut microbial community structure using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. These findings help elucidate how whole-grain diets may modulate the gut microbiome and are relevant for developing nutritional strategies to improve metabolic health in obesity.
