PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTATION CHANGES GUT MICROBIAL DIVERSITY AND DERIVED METABOLITES IN SUBJECTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES

Protein supplementation changes gut microbial diversity and derived metabolites in subjects with type 2 diabetes

Summary: High-protein diets are promoted for individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D).However, effects of dietary protein interventions on (gut-derived) metabolites in T2D remains understudied.We therefore performed a multi-center, randomized-controlled, isocaloric protein intervention with 151 participants following either 12-week high-protein (HP;
