The gut-liver axis mechanism of increased susceptibility to non-alcoholic fatty disease in female offspring rats with prenatal caffeine exposure by Qian Wang, Xiaoqian Lu, Wen Hu, Cong Zhang, Kexin Liu, Kai Tong, Kaiqi Chen, Hui Wang

“…It was also found that PCE female offspring rats were sensitive to NAFLD induced by a postnatal high-fat diet (HFD), which is mainly related to the enhancement of hepatic triglyceride synthesis function. Through mechanism exploration, we found that HFD further reduced the fecal and serum butyric acid levels in the PCE female offspring, which was significantly negatively correlated with hepatic SREBP-1c/FASN mRNA expression and triglyceride level. …”
