“…Liver, a central detoxifying organ of the body, is also the primary organ regulating gluconeogenesis and lipogenesis (Glaser et al., 2019; Liu et al., 2013; Sunny, Parks, Browning, & Burgess, 2011). The disturbance in intra‐hepatic lipid homeostasis has emerged as a risk factor for the development of liver diseases, such as fat liver and non‐alcoholic steatohepatitis, leading to retarded growth in human and animals (Bechmann et al., 2012; Liu et al., 2013; Mohamed, Sarhan, Eladl, El‐Remessy, & El‐Sherbiny, 2018). Previous in vivo findings have shown that dietary wheat bran fibre or inulin supplementation can improve the growth performance of growing pigs (Chen et al, 2020; Wang et al., 2019; Wu et al., 2018; Zhao et al., 2018).…”
