Inulin regulates endothelial function: a prebiotic smoking gun?

摘要

A new study shows that the prebiotic inulin improves vascular function in an animal model of cardiovascular disease. A key mechanism for how dietary gut microbiota modulation regulates host physiology through the activities of host-microbiota co-metabolic signalling via bile acids and glucagon-like peptide 1 is also explained.
