Low-fat dairy products on hepatic steatosis and gut microbiota in obese mice
The metabolic effects of non-fat milk, yogurt, and cheese were compared. Both milk and yogurt significantly mitigated the negative consequences of a high-fat diet (HFD), leading to improvements in obesity, insulin resistance, and hepatic steatosis, with the milk group showing particularly strong effects. These advantages were linked to a rise in beneficial bacteria, such as Streptococcus in the yogurt group and Anaerotignum in the milk group.
