The gut microbiota consists of a set of microorganisms that colonizes the intestine and ferment fibers, among other nutrients, from the host's diet. A healthy gut microbiota, colonized mainly by beneficial microorganisms, has a positive effect on digestion and plays a role in disease prevention. However, dysregulation of the gut microbiota can contribute to various diseases. The nutrition of the host plays an important role in determining the composition of the gut microbiota. A healthy diet, rich in fiber, can beneficially modulate the gut microbiota. In this sense, oats are a source of both soluble and insoluble fiber. Oats are considered a functional ingredient with prebiotic potential and contain plant proteins, unsaturated fats, and antioxidant compounds. The impact of oat consumption on the gut microbiota is still emerging. Associations between oat consumption and the abundance of , , , , and have already been observed. Therefore, this integrative review summarizes the findings from studies on the relationship between oat consumption, the gut microbiota, and the metabolites, mainly short-chain fatty acids, it produces.
肠道微生物群由一组定植在肠道中的微生物组成，它们会发酵来自宿主饮食中的纤维和其他营养物质。一个主要由有益微生物定植的健康肠道微生物群对消化有积极影响，并在疾病预防中发挥作用。然而，肠道微生物群的失调可能会导致各种疾病。宿主的营养在决定肠道微生物群的组成方面起着重要作用。富含纤维的健康饮食可以有益地调节肠道微生物群。在这个意义上，燕麦是可溶性和不可溶性纤维的来源。燕麦被认为是具有益生元潜力的功能性成分，并且含有植物蛋白、不饱和脂肪和抗氧化化合物。燕麦消费对肠道微生物群的影响仍在出现。已经观察到燕麦消费与 、 、 、 和 的丰度之间存在关联。因此，本综述总结了关于燕麦消费、肠道微生物群和代谢物（主要是短链脂肪酸）之间关系的研究结果。
