Objectives: Matcha, a powdered form of green tea, is rich in bioactive compounds, including L-theanine and polyphenols, that have been associated with beneficial effects on cardiometabolic and gut health. This study aimed to evaluate whether dietary matcha supplementation attenuates high-fat, high-sugar diet (HFHSD)–induced cardiac hypertrophy and whether these effects are related to alterations in the gut microbiota along the gut-heart axis.
