Zinc and Aging Mouse Microbiome study

The goal of this research is to identify the interaction between host age, gut microbiome content, and zinc and inflammation status. We are interested to see how the gut microbiome changes in the host in response to zinc status (supplementation or deficiency vs. adequate), and how the gut microbiome status influences inflammation.

本研究旨在探究宿主年龄、肠道菌群组成、锌含量及炎症状态之间的相互作用。我们期望观察在锌状态（补充或缺乏与充足）的影响下，宿主体内肠道菌群的变迁，以及肠道菌群状态如何影响炎症过程。
