By assessing relevant indicators of intestinal dyskinesia, we found that <i>Bifidobacterium bifidum</i> CCFM1359 effectively alleviated the dyskinesia.

Further analysis revealed that <i>Bifidobacterium bifidum</i> CCFM1359 likely exerts its beneficial effects by regulating intestinal microecology (increasing the relative abundance of <i>Bifidobacterium bifidum</i> and valeric acid content while decreasing <i>Faecalibacterium</i> and butyric acid content), reducing intestinal inflammation (upregulating the anti-inflammatory factor <i>IL-10</i> and downregulating pro-inflammatory factors <i>TNF-α</i> and <i>IL-1β</i>), and remodelling intestinal nerves (upregulating <i>S100β</i> and the excitatory neurotransmitter ACh, while downregulating the inhibitory neurotransmitter nNOS).

Metaproteomics identified proteins including myosin, ovalbumin, and beta-lactoglobulin that differentiated food tissue types like beef from dairy and chicken from egg, distinctions that were not possible by DNA alone.

Numerous studies have suggested that <em>Lactobacillus</em> and <em>Bifidobacterium</em> could increase short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production, thus improving the intestinal microbiota composition, mitigating obesity, and protecting the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of <em>Lactobacillus plantarum</em> TWK10 (TWK10) on gut dysbiosis, obesity, and constipation induced by a high-fat diet and loperamide. Over a 5-week experimental period, rats were fed a high-fat diet and subsequently induced with gut dysbiosis and constipation using loperamide. Concurrently, rats were administered different doses of TWK10 or TWK10-fermented soy milk. Following administration of TWK10 or its fermented soy milk, the expression of adipocyte transcription factors such as PPARγ, C/EBPα, and C/EBPβ proteins and adipocyte size were significantly downregulated (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.05). Regarding intestinal motility, compared to the high-fat diet-induced obesity and loperamide-induced constipation group (L), rats receiving TWK10 or its fermented soy milk exhibited regulation of gastrointestinal hormone levels such as gastrin (GT), somatostatin (Sst), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and acetylcholinesterase (Ache) in serum. Additionally, there was a notable increase in the intestinal transit ratio, particularly in the 1X TWK10 group, in which it increased by 10.29% (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.05). Furthermore, the consumption of TWK10 or its fermented soy milk significantly increased the number of goblet cells, as well as the thickness of the muscle and mucosal layers in the colon (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.05). Analysis of SCFA content in fecal samples revealed a significant increase in SCFA concentrations, particularly acetic acid, following administration of both TWK10 and its fermented soy milk. Finally, TWK10 was found to modulate the composition of the intestinal microbiota and increase microbial diversity.
