Study reveals gut hormones PGDPs link gut health, diet, and fatty liver disease prevention.

A study from Fujita Health University highlights the role of gut hormones, specifically proglucagon-derived peptides (PGDPs), in preventing fatty liver disease linked to high-fat diets. Researchers found that mice lacking PGDPs showed reduced fat absorption and lower liver fat accumulation. This suggests that targeting these hormones could lead to new therapies for obesity and fatty liver disease, emphasizing the connection between diet, hormones, and gut health.
