Oxaquinic Acid Alters Intestinal Flora Function and Body Weight Growth: A Review of Research Findings

The alterations in energy metabolism and other functions observed in the OA group were in line with the findings of Zeng et al. [243]. Their study revealed that exposure to 5 mg/L antibiotic oxaquinic acid induced changes in intestinal flora function, such as enhanced carbohydrate utilization and improved energy metabolism, ultimately leading to significant host body weight growth.
