Deficiency of Dietary Fiber in Slc5a8-Null Mice Promotes Bacterial Dysbiosis and Alters Colonic Epithelial Transcriptome towards Proinflammatory Milieu by Sathish Sivaprakasam, Pramodh K. Ganapathy, Mohd Omar Faruk Sikder, Moamen Elmassry, Sabarish Ramachandran, Kameswara Rao Kottapalli, Vadivel Ganapathy

“…Various factors alter the gut microbiota which lead to dysbiosis; in particular, diet and dietary fibers constitute important determinants. Dietary fiber protects against IBD; bacteria ferment these dietary fibers in colon and generate short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which mediate the anti-inflammatory actions of dietary fibers. …”
