Naringin Alleviates Atherosclerosis in ApoE–/– Mice by Regulating Cholesterol Metabolism Involved in Gut Microbiota Remodeling
Naringin reduces artery plaque in mice by changing cholesterol processing and gut bacteria
AI simplified
Abstract
Naringin reduced serum and liver cholesterol levels by 24.04% and 28.37% respectively in mice fed a high-fat diet.
- Naringin significantly alleviated atherosclerosis in ApoE-deficient mice.
- A large amount of naringin was present in the colon after oral intake, potentially affecting gut microbiota.
- Naringin increased the excretion of bile acids and neutral sterols by 1.6- and 4.3-fold, respectively.
- The modulation of gut microbiota was identified as a key pathway in the alleviation of atherosclerosis by naringin.
- Changes in the gut microbiota included alterations in bacteria that influence bile acid synthesis from cholesterol.
