Lactobacillus plantarum Modulates Gut Microbiota Composition in NAFLD Mice

Feeding Lactobacillus plantarum can alleviate the symptoms of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in mice while also affecting the gut microbiota. Specifically, L. plantarum helps reduce liver fat accumulation, improve liver function, and reduce inflammation associated with NAFLD. In addition to its therapeutic effects on the liver, it also regulates the composition of the gut microbiota. These changes in the gut microbiota play a role in improving overall metabolic health and slowing the progression of NAFLD, emphasizing the impact of the gut-liver axis in this process.
