- Rising global obesity rates have led to increased interest in dietary strategies for managing obesity, prompting this study on kimchi's potential benefits.
- The research found that a 12-week kimchi intake in rats on a high-fat diet moderately reduced weight gain and significantly changed gut microbiota and metabolic profiles, despite not decreasing body fat directly.
- While more studies are needed, the findings suggest that kimchi, combined with probiotics and bioactive compounds, may play a positive role in addressing obesity and metabolic disorders.
Although numerous citrus varieties have recently been developed to enhance their quality, information on their quality characteristics is limited. We assessed the quality characteristics of Yellowball, a novel citrus variety, by evaluating its appearance, storability, sensory properties, functionality, and metabolite profiles and then comparing these characteristics with those of its parent varieties, Haruka and Kiyomi. The metabolite profiles between the citrus varieties differed significantly, resulting in distinct physicochemical and functional qualities.

- - High salt intake, specifically from mineral-rich sea salt, can lead to several health issues; this study explored its effects on male rats compared to a normal diet.
- - Rats fed diets with 1% or 4% sea salt experienced weight loss, changes in gut salt content, and shifts in beneficial and harmful gut bacteria, which may affect gut health.
- - The study found significant alterations in female hormones and reductions in certain compounds related to kidney function due to high sea salt intake, suggesting that these physiological changes might vary by sex.
We investigated the antihypertensive effects of Artemisia scoparia (AS) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The rats were fed diets containing 2% (w/w) hot water extracts of AS aerial parts for 6 weeks. The AS group had significantly lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels than the control group.
