Abstract
as well as the F/B ratio of GABA and FLJ groups were reversed compared to those of the HFD-induced mice. Our finding broadens the potential mechanisms by which GABA regulates gut flora in the amelioration of obesity and provides guidance for developing FLJ as a functional food to prevent obesity.
