Abstract

Tectorigenin (Tg) alleviated lipid profiles and liver steatosis in high-fat diet-fed mice.

  • Tg reduced serum lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and total bile acid (TBA) levels.
  • Inhibition of fat production and promotion of fat breakdown were observed in the liver.
  • Tg restored the intestinal barrier and reduced the release of inflammation-causing substances.
  • The growth of beneficial gut bacteria, such as Akkermansia, was promoted by Tg.
  • Tg inhibited the growth of harmful gut microbes correlated with NAFLD symptoms.
