abstract = {Background and Aim: Plant-based diets are associated with
potential health benefits, but the contribution of gut
microbiota remains to be clarified. We aimed to identify
differences in key features of microbiome composition and
function with relevance to metabolic health in individuals
adhering to a vegan vs. omnivore diet. Methods: This
cross-sectional study involved lean, healthy vegans (n = 62)
and omnivore (n = 33) subjects. We assessed their glucose
and lipid metabolism and employed an integrated multi-omics
approach (16S rRNA sequencing, metabolomics profiling) to
compare dietary intake, metabolic health, gut microbiome,
and fecal, serum, and urine metabolomes. Results: The vegans
had more favorable glucose and lipid homeostasis profiles
than the omnivores. Long-term reported adherence to a vegan
diet affected only $14.8\%$ of all detected bacterial genera
in fecal microbiome. However, significant differences in
vegan and omnivore metabolomes were observed. In feces,
$43.3\%$ of all identified metabolites were significantly
different between the vegans and omnivores, such as amino
acid fermentation products p-cresol, scatole, indole,
methional (lower in the vegans), and polysaccharide
fermentation product short- and medium-chain fatty acids
(SCFAs, MCFAs), and their derivatives (higher in the
vegans). Vegan serum metabolome differed markedly from the
omnivores $(55.8\%$ of all metabolites), especially in amino
acid composition, such as low BCAAs, high SCFAs (formic-,
acetic-, propionic-, butyric acids), and dimethylsulfone,
the latter two being potential host microbiome
co-metabolites. Using a machine-learning approach, we tested
the discriminative power of each dataset. Best results were
obtained for serum metabolome (accuracy rate $91.6\%).$
Conclusion: While only small differences in the gut
microbiota were found between the groups, their metabolic
activity differed substantially. In particular, we observed
a significantly different abundance of fermentation products
associated with protein and carbohydrate intakes in the
vegans. Vegans had significantly lower abundances of
potentially harmful (such as p-cresol, lithocholic acid,
BCAAs, aromatic compounds, etc.) and higher occurrence of
potentially beneficial metabolites (SCFAs and their
derivatives).},
