Potential roles of 1,5-anhydro-d-fructose in modulating gut microbiome in mice

Abstract The gut microbiota has tremendous potential to affect the host’s health, in part by synthesizing vitamins and generating nutrients from food that is otherwise indigestible by the host. 1,5-Anhydro-d-fructose (1,5-AF) is a monosaccharide with a wide range of bioactive potentials, including a...
