Broccoli consumption alters microbial diversity, host and bacterial gene expression in mice fed a Total Western Diet

We investigated the effect of feeding mice a Total Western Diet formulated using the 50th percentile daily intake levels for macro and micronutrients from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) with 0, 0.5, 1, or 2.5% broccoli powder on the cecal microbiome, cecal gene expression and bacterial gene expression.
