Modulation of gut microbiota, up-regulation of ZO-1, and promotion of metabolism as therapeutic mechanisms of indole-3-carbinol against obesity in mice by XuWen Mao, Guliruoyi Paerhati, Yuche Wu, Lu Feng Cheng

“…BackgroundIndole-3-carbinol (I3C) is a compound derived from Cruciferous vegetables. We aim to ascertain whether I3C mediates the relations between mouse gut microbiota, intestinal barrier function, and metabolism to treat obesity in mice.MethodsThe experimental analyses focused on the changes in lipid distribution, inflammatory cytokines, glucose tolerance, gut microbiota composition, and serum metabolomics of 60 C57BL/6N mice.ResultsThe experimental results demonstrated that I3C reduced body weight, hepatic steatosis, and systemic inflammation and improved insulin resistance in mice on a high-fat diet (HFD). …”
