Gut microbiota and short chain fatty acids partially mediate the beneficial effects of inulin on metabolic disorders in obese <i>ob/ob</i> mice

Abstract excerpt

Mounting evidence has linked both obesity and metabolic disorders with dysbiosis of the gut microbiota. Dietary inulin is conducive to modulating this dysbiosis, and represents a potential means to improve disorders of glucose and lipid metabolism. However, the mechanisms underlying these improvements are largely unclear. Obese ob/ob mice were fed a standard chow, a low fiber diet (LFD) or a high fiber diet (HFD)...
