From: Gut microbiota predicts body fat change following a low-energy diet: a PREVIEW intervention study
The LED intervention and body fat (%) reduction associated with reduced capacity for butyrate production in the gut microbiota. A qPCR quantification of the butyryl-CoA:acetate CoA-transferase gene in pre- and post-LED faecal samples. Data are expressed as 1/mean threshold cycle (Ct). B Relative changes (post–pre-LED) in body fat (%) (ΔBody fat %) significantly correlated with relative changes in butyrate production capacity (ΔButyryl CoA:acetate CoA transferase)
