Acarbose differentially affects gut microbial metabolism of maltose and sucrose, distinctly modulating host metabolism

Summary Gut microbiota act as beneficial symbionts of the hosts. Administration of α-glucosidase inhibitors (α-GIs) is considered to promote the microbiota’s carbohydrate availability, modulating short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production. However, it remains unclear whether host-microbiota interaction differs depending...
