The volume lower-bound conjecture for 0-symmetric lattice polytopes

From papers

Let Pon\mathcal{P}_o^n denote the class of 00-symmetric lattice polytopes in Rn\mathbb{R}^n, let intP\operatorname{int} P be the interior of PP, let G(intP)\mathrm{G}(\operatorname{int} P) be the number of lattice points in its interior, and let vol(P)\operatorname{vol}(P) denote its volume.

Volume lower-bound conjecture. Every PPonP\in\mathcal{P}_o^n satisfies

vol(P)2n1n!(G(intP)+1).\operatorname{vol}(P)\geq \frac{2^{n-1}}{n!}\left(\mathrm{G}(\operatorname{int} P)+1\right).

This is proposed as the 00-symmetric analogue of the preceding sharp volume lower bound for general lattice polytopes. The surrounding text gives sharp upper bounds and examples for the symmetric case, but provides no resolution of this lower-bound assertion.
