| Sung et al. (30) | Animals: non-germ free C57Bl/6J mice Age and sex: 8-week-old; male Diets: high-fat high-sucrose diet (45% of energy from fat and 17% from sucrose) Faecal transplantation: from mice fed a standard diet or from mice fed the high-fat high-sucrose diet supplemented with 0.4% of resveratrol Experimental period length: 8 weeks (last 2 weeks of transplantation) |
Transplantation from mice fed resveratrol: Improvement in glucose clearance |

| Kim et al. (37) | Animals: C57Bl/6J mice Age and sex: 8-week-old; male Diets: high-fat high-sucrose diet (45% of energy from fat and 17% from sucrose) Faecal transplantation: from mice fed a standard diet or from mice fed the high-fat high-sucrose diet supplemented with 0.4% of resveratrol Experimental period length: 8 weeks (last 2 weeks of transplantation) |
Transplantation from mice fed resveratrol: ↓ Fasting serum glucose levels No effect on insulin levels. |

| Wang et al. (31) | Animals: C57BL/6J mice Age and sex: 6-week-old; male Diets: high-fat diet (60% of energy from fat) Faecal transplantation: from mice fed a standard diet supplemented or not with resveratrol or a high-fat high-sucrose diet supplemented with resveratrol (300 mg/kg BW/d) Experimental period length: 18 weeks (last 16 weeks of transplantation) |
Transplantation from mice fed resveratrol and the high-fat diet: ↓ Fasting blood insulin No effect on fasting glucose levels Transplantation from mice fed resveratrol and standard diet: ↓ Fasting blood glucose ↓ Fasting blood glucose insulin Improved glucose and insulin response |
