Abstract: < 0.05) upon undernutrition. Taken together, undernutrition changed the microbial community in the jejunum and ileum, which altered the fermentation mode and the production of volatile fatty acids and microbial protein. These affected the energy and protein system in the epithelium and reprogrammed substance metabolism and extracellular structures, which probably further influenced cell growth and immune response. These insights provide a foundation for completely clarifying the crosstalk between small intestinal microbiota and the host.
