Metagenomics exploring the effect of recombinant rice based on lotus seed starch-broken rice flour on intestinal flora in rats

High fat diet may cause obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and other diseases, even mortality. The recombinant rice based on mixing lotus seed starch broken flour was used to feed high-fat rats, its effects body weight organ index were determined. changes of intestinal flora in rats studied by macrogenomic technology, the starch-broken (LSBR) discussed. results showed that adding enough LSBR could effectively inhibit gain reduce liver from 0.3498 0.2836, kidney 0.0079 0.0072. reduction abundance diversity caused improved, relative ratio Firmicutes/Bacteroidete reduced 11.04 2.17, while beneficial bacteria increased.
