Soy Improves Cardiometabolic Health and Cecal Microbiota in Female Low-Fit Rats
Abstract Phytoestrogen-rich soy is known to ameliorate menopause-associated obesity and metabolic dysfunction for reasons that are unclear. The gut microbiota have been linked with the development of obesity and metabolic dysfunction. We aimed to determine the impact of soy on cardiometabolic health...

The gut microbiota have been linked with the development of obesity and metabolic dysfunction.
