Abstract:Obesity and metabolic dysfunction have been shown to be associated with overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which contributes to dysbiosis or imbalances in the gut microbiota. Recently, the reversal of dysbiosis has been observed as a result of dietary supplementation with antioxidative compounds including polyphenols. Likewise, dietary polyphenols have been associated with scavenging of GI ROS, leading to the hypothesis that radical scavenging in the GI tract is… Show more
