Dietary pectin Modulate Inflammatory Response by Gut Microbiota-Derived Tryptophan Metabolites

Pectin is a heteropolysaccharide that acts as an intestinal immunomodulator, promoting intestinal development and regulating intestinal flora in the gut. However, the relevant mechanisms are still not clear. In this study, pigs were fed on a corn-soybean meal-based diet supplemented with 5% microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) or 5% pectin for 3 weeks, to investigate the metabolites and anti-inflammatory in the jejunum.
