Professor Chen Feng's team published an important paper on "nutrient regulation of iron deficiency anemia" in the top international food and nutrition journals

Recently, the research group of Professor Chen Feng from the Institute for Advanced Study of Shenzhen University published a paper entitled "Prebiotic oligosaccharides regulate protein Prebiotic oligosaccharides enhance iron absorption via modulation of protein expression and gut microbiota in a dose-response manner in iron-deficient growing rats.

Based on the iron-deficiency anemia problem that is currently seriously endangering the health of children and adolescents in China, the research was based on the iron-deficiency anemia rats in the growing phase to simulate anemia in children, and to explore the effects of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and galactooligosaccharides (GOS) at different concentrations.
