Mannan-oligosaccharide modulates the obesity and gut microbiota in high-fat diet-fed mice.

Food & Function 2018 July 18
The gut microbiota is considered to be associated with high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity and metabolic syndrome (MS). Mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS) is widely used as a natural additive, and its effect on promoting fat metabolism has been reported. Here, we performed a 11-week study on C57BL/6J mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) with/without MOS supplementation, and the results showed that MOS could attenuate high-fat diet induced metabolic syndrome, including slower body weight gain, lowered serum lipids and reduced insulin resistance. Next generation sequencing (NGS) of the gut microbiota indicated that MOS modulated the overall structure of the gut microbiome, which was highly correlated with MS parameters. Specifically, the intake of MOS decreased the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio and could reverse the changes in the relative abundance of several species caused by HFD, including Akkermansia muciniphila, Bacteroides acidifaciens, Lactobacillus gasseri and Bifidobacterium pseudolongum. Thus, MOS has the potential to be used as a new prebiotic for regulating the gut microbiota and helping in attenuating metabolic disorders.
