Dietary fucoidan improves metabolic syndrome in association with increased Akkermansia population in the gut microbiota of high-fat diet-fed mice

Emerging evidence shows that dietary fucoidan contribute to the prevention and treatment of diverse diseases. Here, using a mouse model, we first demonstrate a similar beneficial effect of two fucoidans from Laminaria japonica and Ascophyllum nodosum on diet-induced metabolic syndrome (MetS). Both f...
