High fat diet is associated with gut microbiota dysbiosis and decreased gut microbial derived metabolites related to metabolic health in young Göttingen Minipigs. by Ditte Olsen Lützhøft, Cecilie Bækgård, Elizabeth Wimborne, Ellen Marie Straarup, Karen-Margrethe Pedersen, Jonathan R Swann, Henrik Duelund Pedersen, Kim Kristensen, Line Morgills, Dennis Sandris Nielsen, Axel Kornerup Hansen, Marianne Kronborg Bracken, Susanna Cirera, Berit Østergaard Christoffersen

“…Six and nine metabolically relevant genes were differentially expressed between chow-fed and HFD-fed animals in liver and omental adipose tissue, respectively. The HFD-fed pigs presented with metabolic syndrome, gut microbial dysbiosis and a marked decrease in healthy gut microbial products and thus displayed marked parallels to human obesity and insulin resistance. …”
