Modulation of fat metabolism and gut microbiota by resveratrol on high-fat diet-induced obese mice

The antioxidant resveratrol (RSV) has low bioavailability and can reach the colon to access the gut microbial ecosystem. RSV administration together with high-fat diet prevented abnormal changes of intestinal microbiota. However, whether or not RSV can reshape the intestinal microbiota of obese mice...

Description
Summary:The antioxidant resveratrol (RSV) has low bioavailability and can reach the colon to access the gut microbial ecosystem. RSV administration together with high-fat diet prevented abnormal changes of intestinal microbiota. However, whether or not RSV can reshape the intestinal microbiota of obese mice and alleviate obesity-related diseases remains to be studied. This study aimed to explore the role of RSV in alleviating high-fat-induced obesity and its relationship with oxidative stress and gut microbiota. Male C57BL/6 mice were divided into five groups and administered for 16 weeks with: standard diet (CON), high-fat diet (60% energy for lard, HFD), and HFD with low, medium, and high dose of RSV, 50, 75, and 100 mg/kg body weight administered daily via drinking water, respectively. Medium and high RSV treatment significantly prevented body weight gain, decreased relative weight of liver and adipose tissue compared with HFD (
