Effects of native or partially defatted hemp seeds on hindgut function, antioxidant status and lipid metabolism in diet-induced obese rats

The aim was to compare the effects of a small amount of native and partially defatted hemp seeds on hindgut function, antioxidant status and lipid metabolism in rats fed a high-fat (HF) diet. After 8 weeks of experimental feeding, HF dietary feeding induced obesity and a series of metabolic disorders in rats. Supplementation of the HF diet with both seed forms increased the cecal SCFA concentrations and improved the antioxidant status of rats,...
