Effects of Soluble and Insoluble Fibre on Glycolipid Metabolism and Gut Microbiota in High-Fat-Diet-Induced Obese Mice

Dietary fibre can alleviate or reduce the risk of obesity and obesity-induced abnormalities in glycolipid metabolism. However, the effects of different types of dietary fibre or their combinations on obesity remain unclear. Here, we explored the effects of different ratios of inulin soluble dietary fibre (ISDF) and barley leaf insoluble dietary fibre (BLIDF) on the body weight, glycolipid metabolism and gut microbiota of obese mice.
