The human gut microbiota plays a critical role in health and disease, influencing metabolic, immune, and neurological processes. Dietary flavonoids, such as naringenin, a bioactive compound found predominantly in citrus fruits, have been shown to exert multiple beneficial effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and metabolic regulatory activities. However, the mechanisms by which naringenin interacts with and modulates gut microbial communities remain incompletely understood. This project aims to explore the modulatory effects of naringenin on gut microbiota composition and function using a combination of 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
