Fermented soymilk (FSM4) has attracted much attention due to its nutritional and health characteristics. Exploring FSM4 products to alleviate diarrhea can ensure their effectiveness as a therapeutic food for alleviating gastrointestinal disorders. However, the relationship between gut microbiota and gut metabolite production remains unknown during diarrheal episodes. Therefore, the diarrhea-alleviating role and mechanisms of FSM4 in diarrhea rats were investigated biochemical, gut microbiota, and serum metabolite analyses. The findings showed that consuming FSM4 improved diarrhea symptoms and reduced systemic inflammation better than non-fermented soymilk (NFSM). It is worth noting that FSM4 promoted the diversity, richness, structure, and composition of gut microbiota. It increased the ability to reduce inflammation associated with harmful bacteria (, , , , group, , , , , group and ), while stimulating the growth of healthy species (, , , group, , and ). Moreover, metabolomics analysis showed that lipid metabolites such as lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LysoPE) and sphingolipids were upregulated in the NG group, closely related to pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and IFN-γ) and the aforementioned pathogenic bacteria. Notably, in treatment groups, especially FSM4, the accumulation of L-ornithine, aspartic acid, ursocholic acid, 18-oxooleate, and cyclopentanethiol was increased, which was robustly associated with the anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 and beneficial bacteria mentioned above. Therefore, it can be inferred that the amino acids, bile acid, 18-oxooleate, and cyclopentanethiol produced in the FSM4 group can serve as metabolic biomarkers, which synergistically act with the gut microbiota to help alleviate inflammation for diarrhea remission. Overall, FSM4 may provide a new alternative, as an anti-inflammatory diet, to alleviate diarrhea.
发酵豆乳(FSM4)因其营养和健康特性而备受关注。探索 FSM4 产品以缓解腹泻,可以确保其作为缓解胃肠道疾病的治疗性食品的有效性。然而,在腹泻发作期间,肠道微生物群和肠道代谢产物的产生之间的关系仍不清楚。因此,研究了 FSM4 对腹泻大鼠的腹泻缓解作用及其机制,进行了生化、肠道微生物群和血清代谢物分析。研究结果表明,与非发酵豆乳(NFSM)相比,食用 FSM4 能更好地改善腹泻症状和减轻全身炎症。值得注意的是,FSM4 促进了肠道微生物群的多样性、丰富度、结构和组成。它增加了与有害细菌(、、、、组、、、、、组)相关的抗炎能力,同时刺激了健康物种(、、、、组和)的生长。此外,代谢组学分析表明,在 NG 组中,脂质代谢物如溶血磷脂酰乙醇胺(LysoPE)和鞘脂类物质上调,与促炎细胞因子(IL-6、IL-1β、TNF-α 和 IFN-γ)和上述致病细菌密切相关。值得注意的是,在治疗组中,特别是 FSM4 组,L-鸟氨酸、天冬氨酸、熊去氧胆酸、18-氧代油酸和环戊硫醇的积累增加,与抗炎因子 IL-10 和上述有益细菌有很强的相关性。因此,可以推断,FSM4 组产生的氨基酸、胆汁酸、18-氧代油酸和环戊硫醇可以作为代谢标志物,与肠道微生物群协同作用,有助于缓解炎症,促进腹泻缓解。总的来说,FSM4 可能为缓解腹泻提供一种新的替代方法,即抗炎饮食。
