In these mice, the protection against obesity and hepatic steatosis may be possibly explained by higher circulating levels of Angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4), a serum hormone that impaired fat storage in adipocytes, muscles and heart and by the ability of microbiota to cleave and ferments complex dietary plant polysaccharides [39]. This evidence concerns the gene ANGPTL4 and Hepatic steatosis.
