Can Diet Influence Our Health by Altering Intestinal Microbiota-Derived Fecal Metabolites?

ABSTRACT The human gastrointestinal tract harbors a diverse, highly mutualistic microbial flora which could produce a myriad of specialized metabolites. These specialized metabolites are the chemical cellphones that gut microflora use to communicate with their human host and could potentially be use...
