Abstract
Osteoporosis is prevalent, poses significant health risks, and is often overlooked in public health. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have emerged as a promising alternative for osteoporosis prevention, especially given the adverse effects of conventional treatments. In this study, Limosilactobacillus fermentum YSC5001 was identified as the most effective strain among 64 edible LAB isolates for enhancing pre-osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cell differentiation and mineralization. Using a tail-suspended rat model, YSC5001 increased bone mineral density by 63.10 % and reduced osteoclastogenesis by 54.65 %. It also improved biomechanical properties and lowered inflammatory markers, with IL-1β and TNF-α levels decreasing by 21.41 % and 30.08 %, respectively. Further analysis suggested that YSC5001 modulates the Wnt/β-catenin pathway via secretion of 2-hydroxy-3-methylbutyric acid, arginine, and lysine, thereby alleviating osteoporosis. Notably, YSC5001 is a food-derived strain with demonstrated safety and no detectable virulence or antibiotic resistance genes, supporting its application as an oral probiotic for osteoporosis management.
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.
