Is linear growth faltering in infants associated with Acidaminococcus sp . and community-level changes in the gut microbiota?
We show that length growth in children is associated with community-wide changes in the gut microbiota and with the abundance of the bacterial genus, Acidaminococcus. Larger cohorts are needed to confirm these findings and to clarify the mechanisms involved.
Pinto bean intake should be encouraged to lower serum TC and LDL-C, thereby reducing risk for CHD.
