Liver enriched gene 1 (Leg1) is a newly identified gene with few functional information. To know the function of Leg1 in mammals, a phylogenetic study was first conducted and indicated that Leg1 is an
Because germ-free (GF) mice are resistant to diet-induced obesity and malabsorb fat, we examined whether small bowel microbiota directly modulate host processes involved in lipid digestion and absorpt
Although soy foods are recommended to prevent hyperlipidemia and related diseases, it is unclear how their active ingredients exert their effects. Here, the effects of tofu (soybean curd) and its puta
