The Effects of Vegetarian and Vegan Diets on Gut Microbiota (2019, background): “Several microbial genera, like L-Ruminococcus, have been linked to the intake of animal proteins and fat and have been associated with TMAO levels (77).”
Short-chain fatty acids: linking diet, the microbiome and immunity (2024, positive): “An increase in intestinal and systemic SCFAs, including butyrate, can also be achieved using diets rich in plant fibres that enhance the growth of SCFA-generating bacteria 172 or rich in fermentable prebiotics such as resistant starch 173 .”
Transferring the blues: Depression-associated gut microbiota induces neurobehavioural changes in the rat. (2016, background): “However, there were no significant differences in Prevotellaceae or Prevotella in the rats that received the depression FMT.”
Gut Microbiome: Profound Implications for Diet and Disease (2019, background): “Omnivores on the other hand had a higher ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes in the gut and elevated TMAO in the urine [153].”
Effect of Diet on the Gut Microbiota: Rethinking Intervention Duration (2019, background): “For example, minimal differences have been shown between omnivores and vegetarians [35] although in some intervention studies, animal fat and protein predominant diets have been clearly associated with specific changes in gut microbial composition when compared to plant-based diets [67].”
