Food combination based on a pre ‐hispanic Mexican diet decreases metabolic and cognitive abnormalities and gut microbiota dysbiosis caused by a sucrose‐enriched high‐fat diet in rats

ConclusionConsumption of a PMD decreased the glucose intolerance and the biochemical abnormalities caused by the obesity by increasing the abundance of proteins involved in fatty acid oxidation, decreasing the oxidative stress and modifying the gut microbiota. The effect of the consumption of a pre‐Hispanic Mexican diet (PMD) in rats fed a sucrose‐enriched high fat diet is discussed. The presence of soluble and insoluble fiber, antioxidants, polyunsaturated fatty acids and small amounts of docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid from black beans, corn, tomato, nopal, chia and pumpkin seeds synergistically ameliorate some biochemical abnormalities in brain, adipose tissue and liver produced by obesity.
