Gut microbiome-metabolome interactions during varied low-carbohydrate food consumption.

Low-carbohydrate (LC) foods have been associated with weight loss, insulin resistance, and reduced inflammation. Gut microbes may drive these effects by changing the host's immune and metabolic state, yet the optimal replacement strategies (e.g., protein vs. fat) and the biochemical impacts are still uncertain. Thus, w...
