Effects of Fibres Combined With Probiotics on Uric Acid in an ex Vivo Fermentation Model

Potential Effects of Fibres Combined With Probiotics on Uric Acid and Related Metabolites in an ex Vivo Fermentation Model


Sponsor

Örebro University, Sweden

Enrollment

15 participants

Start Date

Jun 12, 2025

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

In this study, we will collect faecal samples from individuals with hyperuricaemia (assessed by blood test) and perform in vitro faecal fermentation studies to assess how probiotics in combination with fibres affect urate metabolism in these faecal samples.
