The effect of diet and host genotype on ceca microbiota of Japanese quail fed a cholesterol enriched diet

Two Japanese quail strains, respectively atherosclerosis-susceptible (SUS) and –resistant (RES), have been shown to be good models to study cholesterol metabolism and transportation associated with atherosclerosis. Our objective was to examine possible difference in cecal microbiota between these st...
