Core Tip |
Chronic high-fat diet (HF) intake alters the phylogenetic microbiota composition, sending harmful proinflammatory signals to the liver that elicit nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in mice. Here, we treated HF diet-induced obese mice with a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha agonist (WY14643), a dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 inhibitor (linagliptin), or their combination, focusing on gut–liver axis modulation. The treatments rescued gut dysbiosis and endotoxemia due to increased tight junction gene expression, mucin production, and numerical density of goblet cells in the intestinal crypts. Treated mice benefited from downregulated Tlr4, Cd206, and Nlrp3, alleviating fatty liver through anti-inflammatory signals such as increased IL-10 and IL-13. |
