Cherries Role in Gut Microbiota-liver-brain Function

Sweet cherries (Prunus avium) are a good source of bioactive compounds including dietary fiber and phytochemicals which have been credited with multiple health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties as well as preventing obesity-related metabolic disorders. However, most studies have shown such benefits using in vitro or animal models. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of DSC consumption on obesity-associated inflammation, metabolic disorders, cognitive impairment, and gut dysbiosis in obese individuals.
