Compositional Changes of the High-Fat Diet-Induced Gut Microbiota upon Consumption of Common Pulses

The gut microbiome is involved in the host’s metabolism, development, and immunity, which translates to measurable impacts on disease risk and overall health. Emerging evidence supports pulses, i.e., grain legumes, as underutilized nutrient-dense, culinarily versatile, and sustainable staple foods t...

Compositional Changes of the High-Fat Diet-Induced Gut Microbiota upon Consumption of Common Pulses
description The gut microbiome is involved in the host’s metabolism, development, and immunity, which translates to measurable impacts on disease risk and overall health. Emerging evidence supports pulses, i.e., grain legumes, as underutilized nutrient-dense, culinarily versatile, and sustainable staple foods that promote health benefits through modulating the gut microbiota. Herein, the effects of pulse consumption on microbial composition in the cecal content of mice were assessed. Male mice were fed an obesogenic diet formulation with or without 35% of the protein component comprised by each of four commonly consumed pulses—lentil (<i>Lens culinaris</i> L.), chickpea (<i>Cicer arietinum</i> L.), common bean (<i>Phaseolus vulgaris</i> L.), or dry pea (<i>Pisum sativum</i> L.).
