The article “Symbiotic gut microbes modulate human metabolic phenotypes (2007)” Li et al showed that human gut microbiomes are highly influenced by genotype, diet, age, sex, organic disease, and drugs.
Li et al provides evidence by sampling fecal and urinary samples of seven Chinese individuals and comparing them to American volunteers showing similar microbe species presence and absence between individuals.
The purpose of this paper was to show the diverse influence on the human gut microbiome in order to improve personal and public healthcare solutions.
Individuals interested in healthcare solutions are the intended audience including healthcare providers and researchers interested in improving healthcare to individuals and the community.
I need more on this.
