Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius)-based product increases fecal short-chain fatty acids and enhances regulatory T cells by downregulating RORγt in the colon of BALB/c mice

Although yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) is a known source of prebiotics (fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and inulin) and phenolic compounds beneficial to gut microbiota and intestinal immune response modulation, its regulatory mechanisms still remain unclear.
