Egg oil 

Egg oil is a natural oil, which consists primarily of cholesterol, lecithin and glycerides of the fatty acids. Egg oil exhibits activity in regulating the gut microbial dysbiosis, alleviating obesity, insulin resistance and inflammation^[1][2][3][4].

Egg oil (0.1-0.8 mg/ml) reduces IL-8 secretion and exerts anti-inflammatory efficacy through Nrf2/NF-kB signaling pathway^[2].
Egg oil (10-600 μg/ml) extracted from sea urchin attenuates 7β-OHC induced cytotoxicity, modulates activity of antioxidant enzyme and reduces production of MDA and CD, exhibits thus protective efficacy against neurodegenerative diseases^[4].

Egg oil (150-600 mg/kg, i.g. for 16 weeks) extracted from Portunus trituberculatus improves insulin sensibility and hepatic glycogen synthesis, alleviates insulin resistance through activation of PI3K/Akt/Glu4 signaling in skeletal muscle and PI3K/Akt/GSK3β/GS pathway in the liver^[1].
Egg oil (150-600 mg/kg, i.g. for 16 weeks) extracted from Portunus trituberculatus amliorates HFD-induced obesity in mice, restores the gut microbial dysbiosis and down-regulates the LPS/TLR4 pathway in liver and epididymal adipose^[3].
