They were fed with a normal diet, a high-fat diet or an inulin+high-fat diet for 16 weeks.

The gross aorta and aortic sinus of mice were stained with oil red O, and the area of atherosclerotic plaque was observed and compared. The diversity and structure of the mouse fecal flora were detected by sequencing the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene, and the levels of metabolites in mouse feces were assessed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

After inulin was added to the high-fat group, the area of atherosclerotic lesions, the level of serum LPS and aortic inflammation were reduced, and the levels of TC, TG and LDL-C were decreased ( P < 0.05).
