Consumption of dietary turmeric promotes fat browning and thermogenesis in association with gut microbiota regulation in high-fat diet-fed mice

Abstract

and production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and succinate. Interestingly, TP-induced BAT thermogenesis and iWAT browning were highly correlated with the reconstruction of the gut microbiome and formation of SCFAs and succinate. Collectively, these findings manifest beneficial actions of TP on the promotion of adipose browning and thermogenesis in association with gut microbiota reconstruction, and our findings may provide a promising way for preventing obesity.
