Abstract:Glycosaminoglycans are complex carbohydrates used as nutraceuticals for diverse applications. We studied the potential of the glycosaminoglycan dermatan sulfate (DS) to counteract the development of diet‐induced obesity (DIO) using obesity‐prone mice fed a high‐fat diet (HFD) as a model. Oral DS supplementation protected the animals against HFD‐induced increases in whole‐body adiposity, visceral fat mass, adipocyte size, blood glucose levels, insulin resistance, and pro‐inflammatory lipids levels in brown adip… Show more
