Almond {51111312} Record Keys Definition:Almond Queue:[ ] Details Initialisation date:[ ] Specification: [ ] Meta Information Type:Diet Host:[ ] Zone:[ ] Notes: [ ]Shared Reference Notes [1.1] - Almonds > increased relative abundances of Roseburia, Clostridium, Dialister, and Lachnospira [1.2] - There were no significant differences in abundance of fecal bifidobacteria following consumption of whole almonds, ground almonds or control . - Consumption of almonds (whole and ground pooled) resulted in higher #Butyrate (24.1 μmol/g) in comparison to control (18.2 μmol/g. - There was no effect of almonds on gut microbiota at the phylum level or diversity, gut transit time, stool consistency or gut symptoms. [1.3] - Almond consumption increased the relative abundances of Lachnospira, Roseburia, and Dialister. - chopped almonds increased Lachnospira, Roseburia, and Oscillospira. - while whole almonds increased Dialister compared to control. - microbial fermentation of finely ground almonds has been shown to increase #Butyrate concentrations [1.4] - #2-methylbutyric acid is produced by bacteria when carbohydrates are limited, indicating a transfer from saccharolytic to proteolytic metabolism potentially due to increased availability of almond proteins. - consumption of whole or ground almonds for 4 wk had no impact on fecal #Bifidobacteria numbers; indeed, the abundance was numerically lower in the almond groups. [#Short Chain Fatty Acid] - ignificant increases in the SCFA #Butyrate and several VOCs after almond consumption [1.5] - almonds (dose of 42 g/day) > increase in the relative amount of #Lachnospira, #Roseburia, and #DialisterReferences Notes[ ]
