    Introduction


    Metabolic syndrome (MS) is defined as the association of central (abdominal) obesity with at least two factors: elevated triglycerides, reduced high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, high blood pressure, and elevated fasting blood glucose


    The human gastrointestinal tract is the habitat of trillions of microorganisms that encode more than 3 million genes


    The population characteristics of the gut microbiota are closely related to diet


    The effect of dietary TPs on MS through the gut microbiota

    TPs improve MS in a multi-element and multi-target manner through the gut microbiota


    Figure 1 The interaction between TPs and gut microbiota improves MS in a multi-element and multi-target manner

    Multifunctional elements during TPs intervention

    Reshape the gut microbiota

    The characteristics of MS’s gut microbiota include low bacterial diversity, a significant increase in the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroides (F/B), and specific changes at a lower taxonomic level, such as the expansion and expansion of Proteobacteria.


    Specific bacteria

    The extracts in tea water are summarized as having the effect of reducing the relative abundance of the Gram-negative and sulfate-reducing Desulfovibrio, and having the effect of producing lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and inducing inflammation


    Potential targets during TPs intervention

    Intestinal barrier

    Low-grade inflammation in MS is called "metabolic inflammation" and can promote the progression of the disease


    Gut-brain axis

    The intestine communicates directly or indirectly with the brain through the vagus neurotransmitter, immune system, endocrine system and microbial metabolites, forming the gut-brain axis, which affects the host's metabolism and central regulation of appetite


    Conclusion and Future Perspectives

    Polyphenols are natural products and have become a promising alternative therapy for metabolic disorders


    Some important issues need to be simulated in future research
