Abstract
The potential mechanism of mulberry leaf against type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is not fully elucidated. Here, we hypothesized that the anti-T2DM of mulberry leaf ethanol extract (MLEE) is related to improvement of gut microbiota and bile acids (BAs) metabolism. Our results showed that MLEE alone can ameliorate glycolipid metabolism disorder, insulin resistance, and inflammation in db/db mice, and presents synergistic effects with metformin (MET). Furthermore, we found that MLEE altered the abundances of gut microbiota related to BAs metabolism such as Colidextribacter, Muribaculum, Muribaculaceae, and Eubacterium_siraeum_group, promoted fecal ωMCA level and thus inhibited intestinal farnesoid X receptor (FXR) gene expression, and then increased plasma glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) level. Furthermore, intestinal FXR inhibition and plasma GLP-1 level enhancing of MLEE could also be observed in antibiotic-intervened db/db mice. These results indicated that MLEE could alleviate T2DM via gut microbiota-BAs-intestinal FXR pathway mediated by gut microbiota and host.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Functional Foods continues with the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. We give authors the possibility to publish their top-quality papers in a well-established leading journal in the food and nutrition fields. The Journal will keep its rigorous criteria to screen high impact research addressing relevant scientific topics and performed by sound methodologies.
The Journal of Functional Foods aims to bring together the results of fundamental and applied research into healthy foods and biologically active food ingredients.
The Journal is centered in the specific area at the boundaries among food technology, nutrition and health welcoming papers having a good interdisciplinary approach. The Journal will cover the fields of plant bioactives; dietary fibre, probiotics; functional lipids; bioactive peptides; vitamins, minerals and botanicals and other dietary supplements. Nutritional and technological aspects related to the development of functional foods and beverages are of core interest to the journal. Experimental works dealing with food digestion, bioavailability of food bioactives and on the mechanisms by which foods and their components are able to modulate physiological parameters connected with disease prevention are of particular interest as well as those dealing with personalized nutrition and nutritional needs in pathological subjects.
