Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how a substance called oryzanol affects fat and cholesterol levels in hamsters that ate unhealthy, fatty food.
- The researchers found that oryzanol helped lower fat accumulation and bad cholesterol levels while also changing the gut bacteria and poop of the hamsters.
- Additionally, when they tested the gut bacteria from the hamsters that took oryzanol, they found that it helped reduce high cholesterol, showing that the gut bacteria play an important role in how oryzanol works.
