Nutritional Regulation on Gut Microbiota, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue, “Nutritional Regulation on Gut Microbiota”.

Gut microbiome is a key homeostasis component for maintaining normal health, and its imbalance is implicated in the development of a number of common chronic and inflammatory diseases. Foods are the most important regulators for gut microbiomes. This Special Issue includes up-to-date research related to the effects of food, nutrient supplementation, and dietary therapy on gut microbiota in animal models, healthy subjects, or patients with chronic or inflammatory diseases from around the world. Research outcomes will help readers understand the roles of nutritional intake on the regulation of gut microbiota and the health of hosts, and encourage the use of nutritional prebiotic foods to prevent and manage relevant health disorders.
