Microbially produced B12 was shown to be responsible for the lipid-lowing effect of silymarin in both rats and germ-free mice. Additional liver transcriptome analyses demonstrated that the improvement in liver lipid metabolism was explained by reduced lipogensis and enhanced fatty acid oxidation. Moreover, the delta changes of serum B12 associated negatively with the fluctuations of serum triglycerides in humans.
