What are galactooligosaccharides (GOS) and polydextrose (PDX)?

Label:chem

Topic
GOS and PDX are dietary prebiotics known to modulate gut microbiota and immune responses.
Answer
GOS (galactooligosaccharides) and PDX (polydextrose) were incorporated into a prebiotic diet at concentrations of 24.14 g/kg (7.0 g active) and 7.69 g/kg (7.0 g active), respectively, to assess their effects on the gut microbiome and host physiology in female mice exposed to hypergravity (3g).
