Walnut Consumption and Gut Microbial Metabolism: Results of an Exploratory Analysis from a Randomized, Crossover, Controlled-Feeding Study

The effect of walnut-related modulation of gut microbiota composition on microbiota functionality is unknown. The aim was to characterize the effect of a walnut-enriched diet (WD), compared to a fatty acid-matched diet devoid of walnuts (WFMD) and a diet where oleic acid replaces alpha-linolenic acid (ORAD), on bacterial gene expression.
