[1.2] [#Serotonin, #Tryptophan] - #Fructooligosaccharides have been shown to modulate the gut microbial composition, by decreasing the abundance of Akkermansiaceae (family level) and #Verrucomicrobia (phylum level) and increasing the abundance of #Ruminococcaceae (phylum level), and to increase the levels of Trp and 5-HT in mice models References Notes[ ]
