16S rRNA sequencing data of cecal micrbiota of mice

This study aims to investigate the effects of inulin with varying degrees of polymerization on obesity management, specifically focusing on its impact on body weight and cecal microbiota composition in high-fat diet-induced obese mice. By exploring the differential effects of long-chain and short-chain inulin, the study seeks to identify the potential of inulin as a dietary intervention for obesity. The relevance of this research lies in its contribution to understanding how dietary fibers, such as inulin, can modulate gut microbiota and metabolic health, offering promising strategies for obesity management and prevention.
