Resistant starch decreases intrahepatic triglycerides in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Journal: Cell Metabolism Key Finding: This landmark study found that participants who consumed 40g of resistant starch daily saw a nearly 40% reduction in liver fat (triglycerides). The study proved that fiber alters the gut microbiota, specifically reducing Bacteroides stercoris, which directly influences how the liver metabolizes fat.

Muscle Cell Insulin Resistance Is Attenuated by Rosmarinic Acid: Elucidating the Mechanisms Involved
Journal: International Journal of Molecular Sciences Key Finding: This research identifies how rosmarinic acid counteracts insulin resistance by activating the AMPK pathway and increasing the translocation of GLUT4 (glucose transporter) to the cell surface, which allows muscle cells to absorb sugar more effectively.
