Gut microbiome composition in pre-adolescent children with different meat consumption patterns

CONCLUSION: The preference of red meat and white meat consumption may significantly reduce the abundance and diversity of gut microbiota in pre-adolescent children. A red meat-rich diet may cause enrichment of Escherichia-Shigella and significant activation of lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis pathway, suggesting the potential benefit of a balanced diet for pre-adolescent children.PMID:35012911 | PMC:PMC8752432 | DOI:10.12122/j.issn.1673-4254.2021.12.07
