Saponins from Chenopodium quinoa Willd. husks alleviated high‐fat‐diet‐induced hyperlipidemia via modulating the gut microbiota and multiple metabolic pathways

Hyperlipidemia is characterized by abnormally elevated blood lipids. Quinoa saponins (QS) have multiple pharmacological activities, including antitumor, bactericidal and immune-enhancing effects. However, the lipid-lowering effect and mechanisms of QS in vivo have been scarcely reported.
