Improvement of human faecal flora‐associated mouse model for evaluation of the functional foods

Aims:  Animal models are required for evaluation of the functional foods such as pro/prebiotics exerting effects through the metabolism of the intestinal microflora. The object of this study was to establish new human flora‐associated mice reflecting the environment of the human intestinal tract.
