EGCG regulates fatty acid metabolism of high-fat diet-fed mice in association with enrichment of gut Akkermansia muciniphila

This study is to examine the effects of EGCG on fatty acid metabolism and their possible relationship with gut microbiota. C57BL/6J mice fed with HFD were administrated with 210 mg/kg EGCG for 12 weeks. EGCG significantly decreased saturated fatty acids (C17:0 and C22:0), increased the unsaturated fatty acids (C18:1 and C18:2) (p 0.45 or r
