The findings indicated that CCFM1060 V and D (viable and dead) administration improved the gut microbiota composition. Specifically, CCFM1060 D restored the abundance of butyric acid-producing bacteria, Alistipes, Lachnospiraceae, and Ruminococcaceae in ethanol-induced mice; CCFM1060 V improved the abundance of <em>g_Dubsiela</em>, <em>g_Bifdobacterium</em>, <em>g_Ruminococcaceae_UCG_014_2</em>, the SCFA-producing bacteria which were decreased in alcoholic hepatitis. Furthermore, the interventions improved the microstructure of the ileum, including the villi and crypts. They reinforced the intestinal barrier by increasing the RNA and protein expression of claudin-1, occludin, and ZO-1 in the colon. Also, they have been shown to enhance the liver’s antioxidant function by suppressing the synthesis of MDA and boosting the concentrations of GSH and SOD through the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. In addition, interventions can suppress mice’s levels of TNF-α and IL-6, IL-1β in serum, presumably via the TRL4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway.
