Indicators of metabolic activity of the intestinal microbiota in children of the first year of life

Resume: While evaluating the level of short-chained fatty acids (SCFA) in feces of infants of 8-12 months old (n=103) there have been found two types of metabolic profile: with 70% it's anaerobic and with 30% it's aerobic. Taking in bioryazhenka and bioprostokvasha, enriched with bifidobacteria, has been accompanied with a more significant positive dynamics of SCFA compared with the group of children who took in a regular (non-enriched) product. It must be mentioned that taking in bioprostokvasha has been more effective with the anaerobic type and bioryazhenka - with the aerobic type.
