Abstract

Abstract : Mol. Nutr. Food Res . 2019, 63, 1900248 DOI: 10.1002/mnfr.201900248 Angelica keiskei has been consumed for centuries as a healthy vegetable. In article number 1900248, Daqun Liu and co‐workers find that daily consumption of fresh Angelica keiskei juice (AKJ) is sufficient to prevent high fat diet (HFD)‐induced obesity and metabolic disorders via changes in metabolic genes and gut microbiota composition. The unique phytochemical profile of AKJ, which includes coumarins, chalcones, and chlorogenic acid, may be responsible for alterations in gut microbiota composition to alleviate obesity.
