Your genes may influence your gut microbiota composition...............
Are you surprised to hear this?
According to a new study published in the journal Cell Host & Microbe, genes also influence the community of microorganisms that live in the gut. They play a role in what type and amount of bacteria we have in our intestine.
The study, led by Cornell University researchers, provides the strongest evidence yet that human DNA shapes the constituency of gut microbiota. And also it identifies some heritable species linked to diet preference, metabolism or the immune system.
