Broccoli ( Brassica oleracea L. var. italica Planch) alleviates metabolic-associated fatty liver disease through regulating gut flora and lipid metabolism via the FXR/LXR signaling pathway

, and reduce bile acid deposition. In addition, the FXR/LXRα signaling system is impacted by broccoli, which is capable of raising the average levels of expression of the Fxr, SHP, and Cyp7a1 genes and proteins and reducing those of the genes for Fasn, Lpin 1, Dgat 2, Scd1, LXRα, and SREBP-1c.
