Targeted Delivery of Butyrate Improves Glucose Homeostasis, Reduces Hepatic Lipid Accumulation and Inflammation in db/db Mice

Targeted Delivery of Butyrate Improves Glucose Homeostasis, Reduces Hepatic Lipid Accumulation and Inflammation in db/db Mice

Butyrate produced by the gut microbiota has beneficial effects on metabolism and inflammation. Butyrate-producing bacteria are supported by diets with a high fiber content, such as high-amylose maize starch (HAMS). We investigated the effects of HAMS- and butyrylated HAMS (HAMSB)-supplemented diets...
