The aim of this study is to explore the possible eubiotic effect of the buckwheat iminosugar D-fagomine (0.096% w/w in standard feed) in growing healthy Wistar Kyoto rats. Feed and energy intake, residual energy in feces, and body weight gain were independent of D-fagomine supplementation throughout the intervention (24 weeks). The populations of significant bacterial subgroups and species were determined in fecal and cecal DNA by quantitative real-time PCR. D-Fagomine increased the Bacteroidetes:Firmicutes ratio and partially counteracted the loss of Lactobacilliales and Bifidobacteriales over time. The supplementation reduced the levels of excreted short- chain fatty acids (SCFAs) as determined by gas chromatography. This paper provides preliminary evidence that D-fagomine has the capacity to promote microbial functional diversity by increasing the Bacteroidetes:Firmicutes ratio and to mitigate the age-related reduction in populations of the putatively beneficial Lactobacilliales and Bifidobacteriales. 2020-05-25T14:22:41Z 2020-05-25T14:22:41Z 2018-09-16 2020-05-25T14:22:41Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Versió postprint del document publicat a: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jff.2018.09.018 Journal of Functional Foods, 2018, vol. 50, p. 120-126 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jff.2018.09.018 cc-by-nc-nd (c) Hereu, Mercè et al., 2018 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Elsevier Articles publicats en revistes (Enginyeria Química i Química Analítica)
