High oleic peanuts improve parameters leading to fatty liver development and change the microbiota in mice intestine

Background: Oleic-acid consumption can possibly prevent or delay metabolic diseases. In Israel, a Virgin- ia-type peanut cultivar with a high content of oleic acid has been developed. Objective: This study examined the effect of consuming high oleic peanuts (D7) on the development of fatty liver compared to the standard HN strain. Design: The two peanut cultivars were added to normal diet (ND) and high-fat (HF) mouse diet. Male C57BL/6 mice were fed for 8 and 10 weeks on a 4% D7, 4% HN, or...
