Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum Remodeled Roseburia and Phosphatidylserine Levels and Ameliorated Intestinal Disorders and liver Metabolic Abnormalities Induced by High-Fat Diet.
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 2020 April 23
Bifidobacterium longum is considered as a potential supplement in antiobesity treatment; however, the underlying molecular mechanism has rarely been studied. To understand the contributions of B. longum subsp. longum (BL21) in the prevention of obesity, we investigated alterations in the liver metabonomic phenotype and gut microbiota by ultraperformance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry and 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing in C57BL/6J male mice orally administered with BL21 for 8 weeks [high-fat diet (HFD)]. BL21 at 1 × 109 CFU·day-1 per mouse reduced the weight of mice by 16.9% relative to that of the mice fed with HFD and significantly lowered the serum levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. BL21 also ameliorated fat vacuolization in liver cells and epididymal fat accumulation. BL21 also lowered the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio, regulated liver remodeling in glycerophospholipids, and alleviated the levels of d-tryptophan. A positive correlation between the butyrate-producing strain Roseburia and the cell membrane component phosphatidylserine was found for the first time. Thus, BL21 can potentially prevent mice from being obese by rebalancing the gut microbiota and glycerophospholipid metabolism. BL21 can be a promising dietary supplement for weight control.
