Obesity is a severe public health threat worldwide. Emerging evidence suggests that gut microbiota dysbiosis is closely associated with obesity and its related metabolic complications. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of polysaccharide extracted from (PEW) on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity, and the potential mechanisms involving modulation of the gut microbiota composition.
Mice were fed a normal chow diet and a high-fat diet with or without PEW (300 mg/kg/day) by oral gavage for 8 weeks. Body weight, obesity-related metabolic disorders, and gut microbiota were examined at the end of the experiment.
PEW supplementation reduces body weight, adipose hypertrophy, liver steatosis, insulin resistance and systemic inflammation in HFD-fed mice, as well as maintains intestinal epithelium integrity. High-throughput 16S rRNA analysis demonstrates that PEW supplementation alters the composition of gut microbiota. The to ratio and the relative abundance of are increased in HFD-fed mice, which are reversed by PEW supplementation to approximately the control levels.
Our results suggest that PEW may be used as a bioactive ingredient to prevent obesity and its related metabolic disorders by modulating the composition of gut microbiota.
肥胖是全球范围内严重的公共卫生威胁。新出现的证据表明,肠道微生物群失调与肥胖及其相关代谢并发症密切相关。本研究的目的是探讨从[具体来源]提取的多糖(PEW)对高脂饮食(HFD)诱导的肥胖的影响,以及涉及调节肠道微生物群组成的潜在机制。
将小鼠分为正常饮食组和高脂饮食组,高脂饮食组小鼠通过口服灌胃给予或不给予PEW(300mg/kg/天),持续8周。在实验结束时检测体重、肥胖相关代谢紊乱和肠道微生物群。
补充PEW可减轻高脂饮食喂养小鼠的体重、脂肪肥大、肝脏脂肪变性、胰岛素抵抗和全身炎症,并维持肠道上皮完整性。高通量16S rRNA分析表明,补充PEW会改变肠道微生物群的组成。高脂饮食喂养小鼠的[具体菌属比例]和[具体菌属名称]的相对丰度增加,而补充PEW可将其逆转至接近对照水平。
我们的结果表明,PEW可能作为一种生物活性成分,通过调节肠道微生物群的组成来预防肥胖及其相关代谢紊乱。
