Sequencing technologies confirmed a higher abundance of SCFAs-producing bacteria, such as Lachnospira species, and a high diversity of gut microbiota in people with a traditionally high-fiber diet
Using a high-fibre diet to target short-chain fatty acid producers in the gut microbiota could assist type 2 diabetes management
High-fiber diets have been shown to reduce plasma concentrations of inflammation markers. Increased production of fermentation-derived short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) is one of the factors that could exert these positive effects.
