Mechanisms linking dietary fiber, the microbiome, and satiety

Award to Dr. Katherene Anguah for research on the links between dietary fiber, the microbiome, and satiety, aiming to understand how high-fiber diets affect appetite control and cardiometabolic health through interdisciplinary methods.

Description

This project supports the career development of Dr. Katherene Anguah in her path to become an independent translational researcher focusing on how dietary components may benefit cardiometabolic health through the control of appetite. The study involves interdisciplinary research including human clinical feeding studies, functional magnetic resonance imaging, microbiome analysis, and targeted metabolomics. The project aims to expand understanding of how high-fiber diets influence satiety and cardiometabolic health in humans.
