Abstract Title:
Protective effects ofα-galacto-oligosaccharides against a high-fat/western-style diet-induced metabolic abnormalities in mice.
Abstract:
In this study, we investigated the effects of a newly synthesizedα-galacto-oligosaccharide mixture (α-GOSg), 0.5% in drinking water, on high-fat/western-style diet (HFWD)-induced metabolic abnormality in mice in a study of 13 weeks. Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) were included as a comparison. Mice treated with α-GOSg had significantly lower body weight and body fat (p
