Low-Carb Diet Changes Gut Peptides and Fat Hormones in Metabolic Syndrome Patients

A carbohydrate-restricted diet altered gut peptides (PYY, ghrelin) and adiposity signals (leptin, adiponectin) in metabolic syndrome patients, with hormonal changes correlating with weight loss and metabolic improvements.

What This Study Found

Carbohydrate restriction in metabolic syndrome patients modified gut peptide profiles (reduced ghrelin, altered PYY) and adipokine levels (decreased leptin, increased adiponectin), with hormonal changes correlating with weight loss and improved metabolic markers.
