Zearalenone exacerbates lipid metabolism disorders by promoting liver lipid droplet formation and disrupting gut microbiota by Xiao Han, Bingxin Huangfu, Tongxiao Xu, Kunlun Huang, Xiaoyun He

“…Validation in combination with AML-12 cells revealed that ZEA promoted lipid synthesis and increased hepatic lipid droplet accumulation via the HNF1β/PPARγ and SREBP1c-HSD17B13/PLINs signal pathways. Further, by analyzing the changes in the intestinal flora of mice and their relationship with lipid metabolism genes, it was found that ZEA decreased the relative abundance of Lactobacillus and increased the relative abundance of Ileococcus, E. faecalis, and Ricardia. …”
