TLDR
In a placebo-controlled, randomized trial, a prebiotic (OI) is found to selectively alter the intestinal microbiota and significantly reduce body weight z-score, percent body fat, percent trunk fat, and serum level of interleukin 6 in children with overweight or obesity.About:

Gut microbiota in human metabolic health and disease.
Yong Fan,Oluf Pedersen +1 more
TL;DR: How the gut microbiota and derived microbial compounds may contribute to human metabolic health and to the pathogenesis of common metabolic diseases are discussed, and examples of microbiota-targeted interventions aiming to optimize metabolic health are highlighted.

The Impact of Dietary Fiber on Gut Microbiota in Host Health and Disease.
TL;DR: This review will focus on dietary fibers, which interact directly with gut microbes and lead to the production of key metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids, and discuss how dietary fiber impacts gut microbial ecology, host physiology, and health.

Fitting Linear Mixed-Effects Models Using lme4
TL;DR: In this article, a model is described in an lmer call by a formula, in this case including both fixed-and random-effects terms, and the formula and data together determine a numerical representation of the model from which the profiled deviance or the profeatured REML criterion can be evaluated as a function of some of model parameters.

Dietary Modulation of the Human Colonic Microbiota: Introducing the Concept of Prebiotics
TL;DR: By combining the rationale of pro- and prebiotics, the concept of synbiotics is proposed to characterize some colonic foods with interesting nutritional properties that make these compounds candidates for classification as health-enhancing functional food ingredients.
