Dietary long-chain n -3 PUFA, gut microbiota and fat mass in early postnatal piglet development—exploring a potential interplay
Abstract Dietary n -3PUFA and gut bacteria, particularly Bacteroidetes , have been suggested to be related to adiposity. We investigated if n -3PUFA affected fat storage and cecal bacteria in piglets. Twenty-four 4-day-old piglets were allocated to formula rich in n -3PUFA (∼3E%) from fish oil (FO)...

Zusammenfassung: | Abstract Dietary n -3PUFA and gut bacteria, particularly Bacteroidetes , have been suggested to be related to adiposity. We investigated if n -3PUFA affected fat storage and cecal bacteria in piglets. Twenty-four 4-day-old piglets were allocated to formula rich in n -3PUFA (∼3E%) from fish oil (FO) or n -6PUFA from sunflower oil (SO) for 14 days. We assessed body weight, fat accumulation by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and microbial molecular fingerprints. Dietary PUFA-composition was reflected in higher erythrocyte n -3PUFA in the FO- than the SO-group ( P |
