Prebiotic Effects of Mulberry Fruit in Children and Adolescents With Atopic Dermatitis
Sponsor: Taipei Medical University Shuang Ho Hospital
Summary
This project proposes a randomized controlled human study to explore the prebiotic effects of consuming mulberry juice on atopic dermatitis in children and adolescents. The study aims to investigate the potential of mulberry fruit as a human prebiotic. This human study will recruit up to 120 participants from the Taipei Medical University Hospital (commissioned by the Ministry of Health and Welfare). Participants will be divided into experimental groups and a control group, with a 3-month intervention involving five clinical assessments and three stool collections. The goal is to compare the severity of atopic dermatitis, gut microbiota, and metabolite changes during the 6 days of mulberry juice consumption between the experimental and control groups. This project will help establish mulberry fruit as a potential human prebiotic and adjunctive treatment for alleviating atopic dermatitis in children.
