The findings demonstrated that BSP could significantly reduce the blood pressure of mice with diet-induced hypertension (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.001). Simultaneously, BSP effectively inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory factors (IL-17 and TNF-α) and increased the levels of an anti-inflammatory factor (IL-10) in the colon of mouse models of hypertension. Additionally, BSP up-regulated the gene expression of intestinal barrier factors <em>ZO-1</em>, <em>Occludin</em>, and <em>MUC-2</em>, and alleviated the hypertension-induced inflammatory infiltration of colon tissue. Furthermore, the peptides increased the levels of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the feces and up-regulated the protein expression of the SCFA receptor GPR41/43. The analysis of intestinal microbes showed that BSP could modulate the richness and diversity of the intestinal microbiota in mouse models of hypertension, increase the abundance of beneficial bacteria, decrease the abundance of harmful bacteria, and promote the homeostasis of the imbalanced intestinal microbiota. Notably, BSP exerted a significant protective effect against L-NAME-induced hypertension in mice, demonstrating good outcomes with respect to blood pressure regulation, intestinal protection, and intestinal microbiota balance. Therefore, BSP may ameliorate the harm caused by hypertension and could aid in the prevention of hypertension as a dietary intervention.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":360,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Functional Foods","volume":"123 ","pages":"Article 106608"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142745877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
