EFFECTS OF MILK FAT ON OBESITY-MEDIATED CHANGES IN GASTROINTESTINAL FUNCTION AND MICROFLORA COMPOSITION

Objective

The proposed hypothesis is that the modulating effect of milk fat on the intestional micro-biome is associated with improvements in obesegenic diet-induced metabolic syndrome in Ossabaw Pigs. The objective of the research is to determine the impact of health-promoting foods in the face of an obesegenic diet.
