Metabotypes Related to Meat and Vegetable Intake Reflect Microbial, Lipid and Amino Acid Metabolism in Healthy People

Abstract

This novel application of NNMF and SGCCA allows detection of distinct metabotypes for meat and vegetable dietary patterns in a heterogeneous population. As many of the metabolites associated with meat or vegetable intake are the result of host-microbiota interactions, the findings support a role for microbiota mediating the metabolic imprinting of different dietary choices.
