Compositional and functional differences in human gut microbiome with respect to equol production and its association with blood lipid level: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Background Gut microbiota affects lipid metabolism interactively with diet. Equol, a metabolite of isoflavones produced by gut bacteria, may contribute substantially in beneficial lipid-lowering effects. This study aimed to examine equol production-related gut microbiota differences among h...
