Prebiotic Oligofructose Prevents Antibiotic‐Induced Obesity Risk and Improves Metabolic and Gut Microbiota Profiles in Rat Dams and Offspring

Abstract

Antibiotic use during pregnancy/lactation increases adiposity and impairs post-partum weight loss in dams. Co-administering prebiotics with antibiotics in rat dams prevented obesity risk in offspring and is associated with altered gut microbiota.
