Dietary lignans, plasma enterolactone levels, and metabolic risk in men: exploring the role of the gut microbiome

Abstract Background The conversion of plant lignans to bioactive enterolignans in the gastrointestinal tract is mediated through microbial processing. The goal of this study was to examine the relationships between lignan intake, plasma enterolactone concentrations, gut microbiome composition, and m...
