EGCG improve meat quality, restore lipid metabolism disorder and regulate intestinal flora in high-fat fed broilers by Lujia Gao, Chen Liu, Jiaqi Wu, Ying Cui, Man Zhang, Chongpeng Bi, Anshan Shan, Xiujing Dou

“…Compared to high-fat diet-induced obese chickens, supplementation of EGCG significantly lowered hepatic fatty acid synthase (FAS) expression and lipid synthesis metabolites, while fatty acid decomposition enzymes showed no significant changes. Furthermore, EGCG significantly decreased inflammation levels and oxidative damage in high-fat diet-induced obese chickens (P < 0.05). 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that dietary supplementation of EGCG reduced the abundance of Bacteroidota and Dielma, while increasing the abundance of Firmicutes, Turiciactor, Romboutsia, and Parasutterella, thereby modulating the microbial composition. …”
