NCT04706858

Brief Summary

The investigators propose a comprehensive, multiomic study that will integrate longitudinal data associating changes in specific gut bacteria and host in response to prebiotic fiber supplementation. These data will guide the development of an integrative biological signature relating bacterial-derived metabolites with biological outcome in the host.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Lipid profile changes in response to prebiotic intervention

    Analysis of changes in the the lipid profile of participants on the prebiotic intervention. Measured lipids in mg/dL include total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides.

    3 years

  • Mapping of microbiota changes in response to prebiotic intervention

    A detailed map of microbes and microbial gene expression changes during the intervention will be developed. Microbiota complexity in fecal samples will be determined by shotgun metagenomic sequencing. Novel microbes and gene pathways will be identified by de novo assemble of whole fecal metagenomes.

    3 years

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Comprehensive metagenome profile during prebiotic intervention

    3 years

  • Comprehensive transcriptome profile during prebiotic intervention

    3 years

  • Comprehensive metabolome profile during prebiotic intervention

    3 years

  • Comprehensive cytokine profile during prebiotic intervention

    3 years

Interventions

Randomization to the order of first fiber: either inulin or arabinoxylan. Third cycle will include a mix of 5 fibers: inulin, arabinoxylan, resistant starch, glucomannan, and acacia gum.

BASIC SCIENCE
Intervention Model
SEQUENTIAL
Model Details: Participants will be randomized to start fiber supplementation with one type of fiber for three weeks. After a washout period, they will supplement with the second type of fiber for an additional 3 weeks.The third cycle will be the same for all participants and they will supplement with a mix of 5 fibers for 3 weeks.
