Probiotics‐derived postbiotics improve host metabolic syndrome by activating the adipocyte thermogenic signaling pathway in high‐fat diet‐fed mice

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
This schematic illustrates how probiotics‐derived postbiotics (PLBK®1–5) combat high‐fat diet‐induced obesity. Postbiotics remodel gut microbiota, boosting beneficial metabolites. These metabolites activate adipocyte thermogenesis (Ucp1/AMPK pathway), resulting in reduced body weight, improved insulin sensitivity, and alleviated hepatic steatosis in ...
