Effects of Three Homogalacturonan-Type Pectins on Mice with Metabolic Syndrome

for pomelo pectin. Metabolites such as arachidonic acid, kynurenic acid, lithocholic acid, deoxycholic acid, and indoleacetic acid, linked to these microbes, may serve as the mediators of pectin's benefits. Ultimately, the molecular weight, degree of esterification, and monosaccharide composition of pectins significantly influenced the outcomes. This study may contribute to a more nuanced understanding that can inform targeted nutritional strategies to modulate gut microbiota for metabolic syndrome management.
