Title
LacFerm - Lactose-derived metabolites as determinants in the response of intestinal microbiota to ingested fermented dairy products
Research area and project description
Fermented dairy is regularly consumed in large parts of the world and most often contains the sugar lactose and the fermentation product lactate. Upon ingestion, lactose and lactate from the fermented dairy reach the small intestine, which is colonized by a significant number of bacteria, before entering the colon. In LacFerm, we will use novel gut and animal models together with our partner at Copenhagen University that do not respond to lactate or short chain fatty acids, together with labelled lactose and lactate to identify the intestinal fate of components of fermented dairy, and the response of the host. Together, the systematic approach of LacFerm will provide the urgently needed insights in the interactions between intestinal bacteria and major components of dairy products, and the consequences for human health.
