Impact of mediterranean vs vegetarian diets on gut microbiota and short chain fatty acids: The CARDIVEG study
Introduction: There is a growing interest in understanding how diet can modulate the intestinal microbiota, including its possible associations with diseases. The aim of the present project is to compare in a group of patients in primary prevention for cardiovascular disease (CV) the effects of Mediterranean (MD) and Vegetarian (VD) dietary patterns on the composition of the gut microbiota and on the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA).
