Cornell researchers found gut bacteria and human enzymes work together to regulate cholesterol and fat metabolism.

Researchers from Cornell found that gut bacteria and human enzymes work together to regulate cholesterol and fat metabolism through bile acids. The study, published in Nature, shows that an enzyme in the gut modifies bile acids to promote fat metabolism and reduce liver fat accumulation, which could be enhanced by dietary fiber. This discovery could lead to new treatments for high cholesterol and fatty liver disease.
