Gut microbial composition in high-fat-diet-fed mice
Experimental species, exposure and limitations are retained on each linked claim.
1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.
How nutrients influence it
Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
How nutrients reach it in more than one step
Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does
Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.
What acts on it
Oral indicaxanthin altered gut microbial relative abundances in high-fat-diet-fed male mice.
Experimental context and source evidence
- dose
- High-fat diet for 10 weeks then indicaxanthin for 4 weeks; abstract reports 0.86 mg/kg/day, methods state 0.4 mg/kg twice daily
- duration
- 4 treatment weeks; eight mice/group
- evidence_access
- Primary open full text, relevant results/methods and PubMed metadata.
- evidence_scope
- literature_reviewed; model-specific source-derived curation
- experimental_model
- Male mice with diet-induced obesity
- limitations
- Dose wording differs between abstract and methods and is preserved unresolved. Changes in microbial abundance do not demonstrate measured SCFA production or microbiota-mediated causation of brain changes. Article assigned 2026 issue; earlier online indexing retained in PubMed.
