Which metabolic change follows disruption of gut microbiome?

💡 Explanation

Decreased fiber degradation results, because disrupted microbiomes reduce microbial fermentation, which directly impairs the enzymatic breakdown of complex carbohydrates, rather than boosting vitamin synthesis; therefore, fiber accumulates, rather than being converted into short-chain fatty acids.
