Animal studies suggest that vitamin D can change the gut microbiome. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a high dose supplementation of vitamin D on the composition of the gut microbiome.
After DNA extraction, TaqMan assays were used for the quantitation of selected microbiome in the feces of 50 adolescent girls before and after vitamin D supplementation.
The expression fold changes for Enterococcus, Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes were; 1.05, 1.20, 0.76, 0.28 and 1.50 respectively. Bacteroidetes and Lactobacillus fell by 72% (P < 0.0001) and 24% (P = 0.006) respectively, whilst Firmicutes and Bifidobacterium were increased by 1.5 (P < 0.0001), 1.2 (P < 0.0001) fold after supplementation.
Our results suggested that a high dose supplementation of vitamin D alter the human gut microbiome composition. Future studies are required for a better understanding of the mechanisms by which vitamin D affects the gut microbiome.
动物研究表明维生素 D 可以改变肠道微生物组。本研究的主要目的是评估高剂量维生素 D 补充对肠道微生物组组成的影响。
在 DNA 提取后,使用 TaqMan 检测法对 50 名青春期少女在维生素 D 补充前后粪便中的选定微生物组进行定量。
肠球菌、双歧杆菌、乳杆菌、拟杆菌和厚壁菌的表达倍数变化分别为 1.05、1.20、0.76、0.28 和 1.50。拟杆菌和乳杆菌分别下降了 72%(P<0.0001)和 24%(P=0.006),而厚壁菌和双歧杆菌分别增加了 1.5(P<0.0001)和 1.2(P<0.0001)倍。
我们的结果表明,高剂量的维生素 D 补充会改变人类肠道微生物组的组成。需要进一步研究以更好地了解维生素 D 影响肠道微生物组的机制。
