 This study examined the effects of a standardized diet on plasma levels of angiopoietin like protein 4, angbptl4, a lipid metabolizing enzyme involved in angiogenesis. The study found no significant differences in plasma angbtl4 levels between the different diets, despite the fact that the diet containing inulin resulted in a greater abundance of bifidobacterium species in the gut microbiome. Additionally, the study found no correlation between plasma angbtl4 levels and other factors such as body mass index, lipid levels, or hypoxia-induced gene expression.
