Punicalagin Prevents Hepatic Steatosis Through Improving Lipid Homeostasis and Inflammation in Liver and Adipose Tissue and Modulating Gut Microbiota in Western diet ‐fed Mice

Conclusions: Our findings suggest that punicalagin improves hepatic steatosis induced by WD, in part through regulating lipid homeostasis and inflammation in liver and adipose tissue and restoring microbiota shift and impaired gut barrier function. Thus, punicalagin could be potentially developed as a potential prevention strategy in combating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
