High-fibre diet prolongs kidney allograft survival in a murine model of renal transplantation
Wild type C57BL/6 mice recipients of BALB/c allograft kidneys display prolonged survival when maintained on a high-fiber diet, compared to allograft recipients fed normal mouse chow. High-fiber fed mice display significant differences in key gut microbiota species, such as Bifidobacterium, which likely mediate the survival benefit seen.
