NewzResearchers at the Duke University School of Medicine in the United States have identified a gut bacterium, Clostridium immunis, that could play a key role in combating visceral fat. Through laboratory tests on mice, scientists discovered that a sugar molecule released by this bacterium successfully reduced visceral fat and curbed weight gain.
The findings offer new potential pathways for understanding how intestinal microbes influence human metabolism and weight regulation, specifically targeting visceral fat, which is closely associated with various metabolic health risks.
