Estradiol modulates gut microbiota in female <i>ob/ob</i> mice fed a high fat diet

Abstract excerpt

Estrogens protect against diet-induced obesity in women and female rodents. In support of these anorectic effects, lack of estrogens in postmenopausal women is associated with weight gain, increasing their risk for cardiovascular diseases and cancer.
