Article Synopsis
- The polyphenol xanthohumol (XN) improves glucose and lipid metabolism in animals with diet-induced obesity, and its effects are believed to depend on the gut microbiota.
- A study tested XN on conventional and germ-free mice with different diets, revealing that XN reduces insulin levels and improves insulin resistance in conventional mice but has no effect in germ-free mice.
- XN alters gut microbiota composition and is metabolized into bioactive compounds, indicating that the intestinal microbiota plays a crucial role in XN's benefits, prompting further research into its complex interactions with diet and host.
