Participants were assigned to a treatment group (protein-rich multi-nutritional drink plus rope-skipping training) or a control group (rope-skipping training only).

Addressing this condition necessitates either targeted medical treatments or dietary interventions. Phytosterols (PS) are cholesterol-like bioactive compounds in various plant-based foods with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. A CKD mouse model was established using folic acid (FA) and treated with dietary supplements of two PS, stigmasterol (Stig) and β-sitosterol (β-Sito). The effects and mechanisms of PS were investigated through biochemical indices, pathology, transcriptomics, and 16S rDNA sequencing. The results indicated that high-dose PS are more effective than low-dose PS and Losartan potassium (LP) in reducing renal fibrosis, restoring function, and modulating oxidative stress and inflammation, with no significant differences between high-dose Stig and β-Sito treatments. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis revealed that PS were significantly enriched in pathways related to the mitochondrial outer membrane, ubiquitin-protein ligase binding, and other cellular components and molecular processes. PS reduced the expression of TGF-β/Smad and cGAS/Sting1/TBK1 and activated PINK1/Parkin pathway proteins, thereby mitigating renal fibrosis in mice. CKD is often associated with imbalanced gut microbiota and compromised intestinal barriers. Our observations indicated that PS restored the intestinal barrier, altered the composition of the gut microbiota, and improved renal function in CKD mice. The present findings indicate that both Stig and β-Sito activate mitophagy <i>via</i> the PINK1/Parkin pathway and modulate the gut microbiota, thereby alleviating renal fibrosis.

The fruit extract from the hybrids showed the most pronounced effect among the studied extracts with regard to these indicators. In addition, the fruit extracts demonstrated a positive corrective impact on the metabolites of glycolysis (pyruvate and L-lactate) and lactate dehydrogenase activity.

Sugar substitutes such as mogroside V (MOG), stevioside (ST), sucralose (TGS), and erythritol (ERT), are increasingly used in T2DM management as alternatives to sucrose (SUC). However, their effects on intestinal health in T2DM have not been fully compared. In the present study, we established a T2DM mouse model using a high-fat diet and streptozotocin injection. These mice were treated with equal doses of SUC, MOG, ST, TGS, or ERT for 4 weeks to evaluate the effects of these sugar substitutes on intestinal health in T2DM. T2DM mice exhibited increased intestinal permeability, reduced goblet cell numbers, elevated pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, and alterations in both gut microbiota and metabolite composition. After 4 weeks of treatment, MOG showed the most significant benefits. MOG activates the PI3K/AKT pathway, enhancing the expression of tight junction proteins, which improves intestinal barrier function and reduces permeability. This is accompanied by NF-κB inhibition, leading to reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine production and increased mucus secretion. These changes help maintain healthy gut microbiota and metabolites, preventing pathogenic bacteria from entering the bloodstream. ST downregulates NF-κB to alleviate intestinal inflammation and improves gut microbiota and metabolic homeostasis in T2DM. ERT has less beneficial effects. TGS and SUC reduce intestinal inflammation and have a better effect on the duodenum. However, TGS has a negative effect on the colon microbiota and metabolites, whereas SUC has a negative effect on the colon microbiota alone. MOG improved intestinal health in T2DM by modulating the PI3K/AKT and NF-κB pathways, whereas ST primarily modulated NF-κB to alleviate intestinal inflammation. Both treatments were effective, with MOG showing the best performance.
