High fiber diet Silveira (2017) [47] BALB/c female mice High fiber diet protected from acute colitis
Low fiber diet Hand (2016) [48] Human Decrease in intestinal diversity with a predominance of Gram-negatives (Bacteroides, Proteobacteria, Verrucomicrobia) and increase in lipopolysaccharides levels.
