Coadministration of isomalto‐oligosaccharides augments metabolic health benefits of cinnamaldehyde in high fat diet fed mice

Bacteriostatic properties of a potential anti‐obesity agent cinnamaldehyde (CMN) may present untoward effects on the resident gut microbiota. Here, we evaluated whether the combination of Isomalto‐oligosaccharides (IMOs) with CMN prevents unwanted effects of CMN on gut microbiota and associated metabolic outcomes in HFD‐fed mice. Male Swiss albino mice divided into four groups ( n = 10), were fed on normal chow, or HFD (58% fat kcal), HFD + CMN...
