Dietary calcium from a dairy matrix provides better protection than mineral calcium against haem-induced gut redox imbalance and microbiota dysbiosis in male rats.. W2_Calcium

This study aimed to compare impacts of dietary calcium provided as calcium salts or dairy matrix on gut homeostasis perturbations by high haeminic or non-haeminic iron intakes. A 3-week intervention study was conducted using Fisher 344 rats. Fecal microbiota composition was analysed using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing (V3-V4 Illumina Miseq).
