Front Cover: Anthocyanin ‐Biofortified Colored Wheat Prevents High Fat Diet–Induced Alterations in Mice: Nutrigenomics Studies

Mol. Nutr. Food Res. 2020,64,https://doi.org/10.1002/mnfr.2019009991900999DOI:10.1002/mnfr.201900999In articlehttps://doi.org/10.1002/mnfr.2019009991900999, Kanthi Kiran Kondepudi, Mahendra Bishnoi, Monika Garg, and co ‐workers find that anthocyanin‐biofortified black wheat consumption reduces body weight gain and fat pad size in high‐fat‐diet‐induced obesity mouse models. This occurs by an increase in adipocyte differentiation and fatty acid β‐oxidation and removal of β‐oxidation‐generated free radicals by antioxidant anthocyanins, leading to no ectopic fat deposition in organs like the liver and heart.
