Oil supplements have various benefits for metabolism, particularly Sacha inchi oil (SI), which is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) such as ω-3 and fat-soluble vitamins. However, the impacts of oil supplements on gut health remain unclear. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of an SI supplement with those of lard oil (LO), known for its high saturated fatty acid content, and a normal diet on gut health in male Sprague Dawley rats for 12 consecutive weeks. Fecal DNA was used to assess gut microbiota diversity and species abundance, diversity, and function prediction. Colon tissue from each rat was examined for colon crypt depth and histology. Rats administered the LO supplement exhibited higher dysbiosis than those administered the SI supplement, with the LO supplement influencing the relative abundance of various bacteria at the genus level. A KEGG analysis was conducted to examine the effects on metabolic pathways, revealing that the SI supplement promoted carbohydrate metabolism while reducing immune system activity. In contrast, the LO supplement increased replication, repair, and translation activities. A histological analysis of the colon tissues showed no significant alterations in crypt depth or lesions in all groups, indicating that neither supplement induced adverse structural changes in the gut. The results of this study suggest that SI supplementation modulates the gut microbiota, thereby enhancing gut health and metabolic function.
油类补充剂对新陈代谢有多种益处,尤其是印加果油(SI),它富含多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA),如ω-3以及脂溶性维生素。然而,油类补充剂对肠道健康的影响仍不明确。本研究的目的是连续12周比较SI补充剂、以高饱和脂肪酸含量著称的猪油(LO)以及正常饮食对雄性Sprague Dawley大鼠肠道健康的影响。粪便DNA用于评估肠道微生物群的多样性以及物种丰度、多样性和功能预测。检查每只大鼠的结肠组织,观察结肠隐窝深度和组织学情况。给予LO补充剂的大鼠比给予SI补充剂的大鼠表现出更高的生态失调,LO补充剂在属水平上影响了各种细菌的相对丰度。进行了KEGG分析以检查对代谢途径的影响,结果显示SI补充剂促进碳水化合物代谢,同时降低免疫系统活性。相比之下,LO补充剂增加了复制、修复和翻译活动。结肠组织的组织学分析表明,所有组的隐窝深度或病变均无显著改变,这表明两种补充剂均未引起肠道不良结构变化。本研究结果表明,补充SI可调节肠道微生物群,从而增强肠道健康和代谢功能。
