Gut microbiota and host genetics modulate the effect of diverse diet patterns on metabolic health

#C57BL/6J (#B6) #mice are more #susceptible to #metabolic #diseases due to #diet-#induced alteration of #microbiota compared to other mouse strains. https://t.co/mCoHGP104Y

Mouse #chow #control #diet typically used in #pre-#clinical studies has a differential effect on #gut #microbiota compared to #human-relevant diets and could alter interpretations. https://t.co/mCoHGP104Y

Gut microbiota and host genetics modulate the effect of diverse diet patterns on metabolic health https://t.co/8AhmGvNwSR The microbiota abundance, and thus quite possibly influence on metabolic health, of different diets are significantly modified by ho

RT @gerdosi: “host genetics is an important modulator of the diet-microbiota-metabolic health axis.” I’m wondering what ‘host genetics’ me…
