The Gut Collection
Welcome to the Nutrition Society Gut Collection
In conjunction with the Nutrition Society Spring conference, please find a range of papers across the Nutrition Society journals that look to explore the link between Nutrition and the Gut. We hope the papers selected below highlight the diverse range of research that we publish on the Gut, and have also included papers from our new Open Access journal, Gut Microbiome.
The papers below are free to access until 30th April 2021
Gut Microbiome is looking for articles on the topic of 'Biotransformation of food compounds by the gut microbiota'.
This could involve the biotransformations itself, as well the impact on the microbiota and on the host - pre and pro-biotic effects would also fit into this.
If you would like to find out more about the journal, please see the interview with Kristin Verbeke, EiC of Gut Microbiome, or visit the Gut Microbiome Core homepage.
Access the papers below for free until 30th April 2021
