Rice protein peptides alleviate lipid accumulation via modulating liver metabolism and remodeling the gut microbiota in HFD-induced mice

. Furthermore, RP intervention significantly elevated fecal short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) content, particularly butyrate, isobutyrate, and isovalerate, suggesting a link between microbial modulation and metabolic improvement. These findings suggested RPs as an effective strategy for improving lipid metabolism and the gut microbiota composition, offering a promising dietary intervention for hyperlipidemia management.
