Advances in the Correlation Between Gut Microbes and Carbohydrate Bonding Patterns
Carbohydrate is a kind of substance essential for human to maintain life activities,which is connected by different glucoside bonds.The human gastrointestinal tract has a wide variety of intestinal microbes,rich in quantity and diverse functions,which is the bridge between diet and people's body health.After the intake of carbohydrates,the human body passes through the stomach,duodenum,ileum,jejunum and cecum to the colon,and the colon is the most abundant part of the intestinal microbes and the enzyme system is complex.As a result,carbohydrates are eventually degraded and fermented into metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids,which are absorbed by the body and exert their unique physiological effects.Intestinal microorganisms have a preference for the conversion and utilization of carbohydrates with different structural compositions.This paper reviewed the research progress on the relationship between gut microbes and carbohydrate bond types.
