Background Upper small intestinal dietary lipids activate a gut-brain axis regulating energy
homeostasis. The prebiotic, oligofructose (OFS) improves body weight and adiposity during …

Scope Diet‐induced obesity is associated with changes in the gut microbiota and low‐grade
inflammation. Oligofructose was reported to ameliorate high fat diet‐induced metabolic …

Dietary fiber, an important regulator of intestinal microbiota, is a promising tool for preventing
obesity and related metabolic disorders. However, the functional links between dietary fiber …

Obesity is characterized by fat accumulation, chronic inflammation and impaired satiety
signaling, which may be due in part to gut microbial dysbiosis. Manipulations of the gut …

Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular
diseases, and gut microbiota plays a key role in influencing the host energy homeostasis …

Supplementation of certain bioactive dietary fibers could alleviate obesity induced by a high-
fat diet, whereas whether the responses of different polysaccharides are consistent remains …

Soluble dietary fibers promote metabolic benefits on body weight and glucose control, but
underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Recent evidence indicates that intestinal …

Objective Oligofructose (OFS) is a prebiotic that reduces energy intake and fat mass via
changes in gut satiety hormones and microbiota. The effects of OFS may vary depending on …

Impaired intestinal health characterized by a dysbiotic microbial community and a
dysfunctional epithelial barrier contributes to host inflammation and metabolic dysfunction in …

The metabolic syndrome (MetS) has become a global public health burden due to its link to
cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus. The present study was designed to …
