[1.3] [#Amedibacterium Intestinale] - #Agavins (AG), either alone or combined with cranberry #Polyphenols (CP+AG), mainly stimulated the glycan-degrading bacteria Muribaculum intestinale, #Faecalibaculum rodentium, #Bacteroides uniformis, and Bacteroides acidifaciens. - This increase of glycan-degrading bacteria was consistent with a significantly increased level of #Butyrate in obese mice receiving AG,References Notes[ ]
