Researchers from Qilu Institute of Technology Discuss Findings in Biomarkers (Exploring the effects of the dietary fiber compound mediated by a longevity dietary pattern on antioxidation, characteristic bacterial genera, and metabolites based...).

A recent study conducted by researchers from the Qilu Institute of Technology explores the effects of a dietary fiber compound (DFC) on aging, intestinal microbiota, and related metabolic processes. The study involved aged mice and young mice divided into three groups: a subgroup without dietary fiber, a low DFC dose subgroup, and a high DFC dose subgroup. The results showed that DFC supplementation significantly reduced age-related weight loss, organ degeneration, and oxidative stress in the aged mice. It also promoted the growth of beneficial bacteria and inhibited the growth of harmful bacteria in the intestines. The study suggests that DFC consumption may have a positive impact on healthspan and longevity, providing insights for improving human health through dietary fiber interventions.
