Official Title: Effects of the Resistant Starch and Sodium Butyrate Supplementation on the Respiratory and Cardiovascular Autonomic Control in Humans
Brief Summary:
Recent data feature short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), products of gut microbial fermentation, as modulators of the blood pressure of the host.Such modulation may evoke (or arise from) changes in the autonomic reflexive mechanisms, but the link remains unexplored.Therefore, the study aims to explore potential relationship between the dietary intervention-induced changes in the SCFA plasma/fecal content and alterations in the sensitivity of the cardio-respiratory autonomic reflexes.In this cross-over,…
