Brief Summary:
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, including in Thailand. One of the major risk factors for CVD is dyslipidemia, or abnormal levels of cholesterol and other fats in the blood. Recent research suggests that the balance of gut microbiota, the community of microorganisms living in the digestive system, may play a key role in regulating cholesterol levels and overall metabolism.
This study explored the potential health benefits of cricket powder, a high-protein food that is already safely consumed in many parts of the world. Previous studies have shown that cricket powder may increase the number of beneficial gut bacteria, especially Bifidobacterium animalis, which supports the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) known to improve fat metabolism.
Although crickets are considered safe to eat, more research is needed to understand their effects on gut health and blood cholesterol, especially in people with high cholesterol levels. This study assessed the safety of cricket powder consumption and whether it can help improve gut microbiota balance and lower cholesterol in Thai adults.
