Gut microbial conversion of dietary elderberry extract to hydrocinnamic acid improves obesity-associated metabolic disorders

Sara Alqudah, Beckey DeLucia, Lucas J. Osborn, Rachel L. Markley, Viharika Bobba, Sarah M. Preston, Tharika Thambidurai, Layan Hamidi Nia, Clifton G. Fulmer, Naseer Sangwan, Ina Nemet, Jan Claesen

This study shows that dietary elderberry extract, through gut microbial conversion to hydrocinnamic acid, improves obesity-related metabolic disorders in mice by enhancing insulin sensitivity and reducing liver fat.
