Abstract

Abstract : Mol. Nutr. Food Res . 2020, 64, 2000341 DOI: 10.1002/mnfr.202000341 Xanthohumol (XN), a flavonoid from hops (Humulus lupulus), and its hydrogenated derivatives, α, β‐dihydroxanthohumol (DXN) and tetrahydroxanthohumol (TXN) decrease hepatic cholesterol by enhancing de novo synthesis of bile acids and decrease ceramide content in liver and hippocampus. The subsequent amelioration of obesity‐induced metabolic and neurocognitive impairments suggests that XN, DXN, and TXN may mitigate metabolic syndrome by targeting the liver‐brain axis.
