PLANT ANTINUTRIENTS AND THE GUT MICROBIOME: A NEW DIMENSION

Objective

Objective 1: Determine if antinutrients in plant foods impact the gut microbiome. Subobjective 1A: Using mice feeding studies, analyze the interaction between antinutrient content in plant-based diets and gut microbiota. Subobjective 1B: Assess the impact of plant-based antinutrient content on animal and human microbiomes using in vitro systems. Objective 2: Utilize a germ-free murine model to determine the inter-relationships between microbial gut ecology, plant anti-nutrients and host mineral bioavailability.
