16S rRNA gene sequencing of fecal microbiota in freekeh-supplemented normal- and high-fat diet-fed C57BL/6 mice
This BioProject contains 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing data generated as part of a larger study investigating the effects of freekeh (green wheat) supplementation on body composition, glucose metabolism, serum biochemistry, gut microbiota, and hepatic histopathology in C57BL/6 mice. The study evaluated the impact of freekeh supplementation under both normal-fat and high-fat dietary conditions across four experimental groups, including respective controls. The goal of this study is to investigate the effects of freekeh supplementation on gut microbiota and metabolic health in C57BL/6 mice under normal-fat and high-fat diets across four groups. This research is relevant for understanding how functional ancient grains can modulate the microbiome to prevent diet-induced metabolic disorders.
