Abstract
Background
Lifestyle modifications have increased the consumption of ultra-processed foods, fat, sugar, and salt worldwide and also decreased dietary fiber due to reduced legume, grain, and vegetable intake. Ultimately, the contemporary food intake profile has increased the incidence of obesity and chronic inflammatory diseases. Probiotic dietary supplementation is a viable health option.
Methods
Male Swiss mice were fed with two diets for four weeks: standard and standard + Inulin. The serum biochemistry data, histology, and inflammatory-related genes’ mRNA expression in adipose tissue were analyzed.
Results
The primary results showed that inulin dietary supplementation decreased the Toll-like receptor 4 transmembrane protein gene (TLR4) expression and interleukin 6 (IL6) in the epididymal adipose tissue, resulting in decreased adipocyte hypertrophy. The high-density lipoprotein (HDL) was increased and TGP enzymes (related to liver injury risk) were decreased also improving insulin sensitivity.
Conclusion
The present study revealed that inulin supplementation could improve the onset of chronic inflammation-related markers in adipose tissue indicating that inulin is a natural anti-inflammatory alternative.
