Cashew apple fiber prevents high fat diet-induced obesity in mice: an NMR metab...
Carvalho, Diana Valesca; Silva, Lorena Mara Alexandre; Alves Filho, Elenilson Godoy; Santos, Flávia Almeida; Lima, Renan Pereira deDietary fiber intake plays an important role in the prevention of obesity. This study aimed at investigating the effect of cashew fiber without low molecular weight compounds (CABwc) on obesity prevention and metabolomics in a murine model of diet-induced obesity. Mice were fed a chow diet (CD), a high-fat diet (HFD) or a high-fat diet supplemented with CABwc (10%) (HFD-CABwc) for 15 weeks. The body weight, abd...
