    In vitro Effects of Cellulose Acetate on Fermentation Profiles, the Microbiome, and Gamma-aminobutyric Acid Production in Human Stool Cultures

    Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is considered as a potential candidate substance that mediates the effects of intestinal bacteria on human mental health. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of water-s...
