Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis A12 prevents obesity- associated dyslipidemia by modulating gut microbiota-derived short-chain fatty acid production and energy metabolism in high-fat diet-fed mice

Background: Bifidobacterium lactis A12 (B. lactis A12) has been shown to have the potential to prevent obesity. However, the mechanisms by which it affects the control of energy metabolism have not been fully elucidated. Objective: The present work aimed to clarify the mechanisms by that B. lactis A12 has an effect on the management of energy metabolism. Design: Three- to five-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into five groups, 15 mice for each group. Low-fat diet (LFD) group...
