Stachyose alleviates high-fat diet-induced obesity via browning of white adipose tissue and modulation of gut microbiota

This study investigates the effect of stachyose (STA) on WAT browning in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). STA treatment modulated gut microbiota composition, regulated hepatic bile acids levels, and maintained intestinal barrier integrity. These results suggest that STA alleviates obesity by inducing WAT browning and modulating gut microbiota.
