ABSTRACT
The composition and metabolic activity of the microbiome affect many aspects of health, and there is current interest in dietary constituents that may affect this system. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a mix of probiotics, a mix of prebiotics and a bioactive protein fraction on the microbiome, when fed to mice alone and in combination at physiologically relevant doses. Mice were fed the total western diet (TWD) supplemented with prebiotics, probiotics, and bioactive proteins individually and in combination for four weeks. Subsequently, effects on the composition of the gut microbiome, gut short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) concentration, and gut inflammation were measured. Ruminococcus gnavus was increased in mice gut microbiome after feeding prebiotics. Bifidobacterium longum was increased after feeding probiotics. The treatments significantly affected beta-diversity with minor treatment effects on cecal or fecal SCFAs levels, and the treatments did not affect gut inflammation as measured by fecal calprotectin.
