Summary: This study investigates the regulatory effect of Holothuria leucospilota polysaccharides (HLP) on immunosuppressed mice. HLP treatment significantly increases immune organ indexes, serum cytokines, and immunoglobulin levels in immunosuppressed mice. It also regulates the gut microbiota composition and improves immune function through the activation of the TLR pathway. The findings suggest the potential of HLP as prebiotics in the development of novel immunopotentiators.

Summary: This study investigated the regulatory effects of Holothuria leucospilota polysaccharides (HLP), a bioactive component of marine resources, on loperamide-induced constipation. HLP treatment improved constipation symptoms, enhanced water-electrolyte metabolism, and increased gastrointestinal motility in constipated mice. The treatment also reduced intestinal barrier damage, inhibited inflammatory response, and improved the composition of intestinal microbiota, leading to increased production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the intestine.

Summary: This study investigated the regulation of gut microbiota and lipid metabolism by Naoxintong Capsule (NXT), a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) widely used in the treatment of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. The results showed that NXT had a potential preventive effect on hyperlipidemia and could reconstitute the gut microbiota in high fat diet-fed rats. The study also identified potential therapeutic biomarkers of NXT, including propionic acid, Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio (F/B), and the relative abundance of Collinsella.

Summary: This study investigated the protective effects of Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides (GLP) on high-fat diet-induced hyperlipidemia and explored the underlying mechanism. The results showed that GLP decreased body weight gain, reduced lipid levels, alleviated tissue injury, and improved oxidative stress and inflammation response. GLP also modulated bile acids synthesis, lipid regulatory factors, and promoted reverse cholesterol transport.

Summary: This study evaluated the anti-obesity effects of two microalgae polysaccharides in obese mice induced by a high-fat diet. The polysaccharides were found to effectively improve obesity-related issues by modulating gut microbiome-mediated host lipid metabolism.

Summary: The study demonstrated that Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBPs) could alleviate dyslipidemia in obese mice by modulating gut microbiota, reducing adipocyte size and number, and downregulating adipogenesis-related genes. LBPs also increased bacterial diversity, reduced the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio, and promoted the growth of short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria, ultimately improving lipid metabolism and gut dysbiosis.

Summary: The research demonstrated that Auricularia polytricha noodles have potential effects on hyperlipidemia and gut microbiota dysbiosis in high-fat diet (HFD) mice, reducing body weight gain, hyperlipidemia, and liver fat accumulation. Additionally, A. polytricha noodles enriched gut microbiota diversity and prevented hyperlipidemia and liver fat accumulation induced by HFD.

Summary: The beneficial effects of Lactobacillus plantarum LP104 on lipid level and disordered gut microbiota in mice fed a high-fat diet were investigated in this study. The results showed that LP104 supplementation could alleviate body weight gain, liver index increase, colon length reduction, as well as improve TC, TG, LDL, TNF alpha, and LPS levels. High-throughput sequencing analysis revealed that long-term high-fat diet negatively affected microbial abundance and composition in the gut, but LP104 supplementation reduced the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroides and positively regulated the gut microbiota community structure. Additionally, the intake of LP104 also increased the abundance of beneficial bacteria Bifidobacterium in the cecum, which improved the intestinal flora disorder induced by a high-fat diet. These findings suggest that LP104 supplementation can improve high-fat diet-induced hyperlipidemia by positively regulating intestinal microorganisms.

Summary: The probiotics-fermented rice buckwheat (FRB) significantly reduced weight gain and visceral obesity, improved dyslipidemia, alleviated oxidative stress and chronic inflammation in high-fat diet-induced mice. Furthermore, FRB intervention inhibited hepatic cholesterol synthesis, promoted lipolysis, and reversed gut dysbiosis induced by high-fat diet, demonstrating its beneficial effects on hyperlipidemia.

Summary: The polysaccharides derived from Cordyceps militaris have the potential to regulate metabolic syndrome and gut microbiota in mice fed a high-fat/high-sucrose diet. Specifically, they can decrease blood sugar and serum lipids levels, while also improving intestinal dysbiosis by promoting the population of Akkermansia muciniphila.
