Gut microbiota and fecal short chain fatty acids differ with adiposity and country of origin: the METS-microbiome study

Gut microbiota and fecal short chain fatty acids differ with adiposity and country of origin: the METS-microbiome study

Abstract The relationship between microbiota, short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and obesity remains enigmatic. We employ amplicon sequencing and targeted metabolomics in a large (n = 1904) African origin cohort from Ghana, South Africa, Jamaica, Seychelles, and the US. Microbiota diversity and fecal...
