Mori Fructus, rich in polysaccharides and polyphenols, has long been used in East Asia as a functional food and medicinal agent. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is used to treat various ailments like wasting-thirst syndrome and constipation. Studies suggest its extract fractions may alleviate metabolic syndrome symptoms by affecting gut microbiota. To explore this, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) was used in an experiment. Pseudo-germ-free mice were created with antibiotics and given a high-fat, high-sugar diet (HFD) to induce metabolic syndrome. Then, fecal bacterial infusions were transplanted. Results showed significant improvement in metabolic syndrome parameters in the FMT-MFPS(fecal microbiota transplantation-Mori Fructus polyphenols plus polysaccharides) group. Dyslipidemia, liver, and kidney injuries were modulated in treated mice. The PPARα/PGC-1α signaling pathway was activated. These findings indicate Mori Fructus extract fractions prevent metabolic syndrome via gut microbiota modulation, with effects sustained through FMT, providing a reference for prevention.
桑椹富含多糖和多酚,长期以来在东亚地区被用作功能性食品和药物。在传统中医中,它被用于治疗各种疾病,如消渴症和便秘。研究表明,其提取物组分可能通过影响肠道微生物群来缓解代谢综合征症状。为了探究这一点,在一项实验中使用了粪便微生物群移植(FMT)。用抗生素创建伪无菌小鼠,并给予高脂高糖饮食(HFD)以诱导代谢综合征。然后,进行粪便细菌输注移植。结果显示,FMT-MFPS(粪便微生物群移植-桑椹多酚加多糖)组的代谢综合征参数有显著改善。治疗小鼠的血脂异常、肝脏和肾脏损伤得到调节。PPARα/PGC-1α信号通路被激活。这些发现表明,桑椹提取物组分通过调节肠道微生物群预防代谢综合征,其效果通过FMT得以持续,为预防提供了参考。
