What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Changes in abundance of butyrate producing bacteria
Time Frame: Baseline up to 6 weeks
|
Changes in abundance of butyrate producing bacteria from baseline treatment up to 6 weeks
|
Baseline up to 6 weeks
|
Changes in Serum Butyrate levels
Time Frame: Baseline up to 6 weeks
|
Changes in serum butyrate level from baseline treatment up to 6 weeks Butyrate is a substance that is produce when gut bacteria breaks down food. Butyrate can get into our blood circulation and regulate how our immune cells function. |
Baseline up to 6 weeks
|
Changes in number of peripheral T cells
Time Frame: Baseline up to 6 weeks
|
Change in frequency of peripheral regulatory T cells baseline treatment up to 6 weeks. T cells are a type of lymphocyte. Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell. They make up part of the immune system. T cells help the body fight diseases or harmful substances, such as bacteria or viruses. |
Baseline up to 6 weeks
|
