Lycium barbarum polysaccharide increases thermogenesis and energy metabolism through modulation of the gut microbiota to confer resistance to cold temperatures
Traditional Chinese medical literature contains numerous records of many traditional Chinese herbal medicines that exhibit efficacy in enhancing resistance to cold, yet there is a lack of scientific explanation. Lycium barbarum is among the herbal medicines that are explicitly documented to enhance resistance to cold in the “Ben Cao Gang Mu (Compendium of Materia Medica)”. Herein, we investigated L. barbarum polysaccharide (LBP)-induced browning of inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT), energy expenditure and thermogenic function in a long-term (4 months) treatment mouse model. LBP supplementation resulted in a significant reduction in weight and adipocyte size in iWAT, along with increased gut microbiota diversity. Specifically, the levels of Lachnospiraceae, Ruminococcaceae and Bacteroidaceae (short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria) were elevated, leading to a higher level of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the caecal content. These effects subsequently triggered the release of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and activated the CREB/PGC1α signaling pathway in iWAT, thereby increasing energy expenditure and enhancing thermogenic function. The antibiotic treatment experiments confirmed that the LBP-mediated gut microbiota participated in the process of iWAT browning. In summary, our findings provide the first scientific explanation and mechanistic insights into the cold resistance of L. barbarum and identify potentially safe natural product supplements for individuals in alpine areas.
期刊介绍:
The FASEB Journal publishes international, transdisciplinary research covering all fields of biology at every level of organization: atomic, molecular, cell, tissue, organ, organismic and population. While the journal strives to include research that cuts across the biological sciences, it also considers submissions that lie within one field, but may have implications for other fields as well. The journal seeks to publish basic and translational research, but also welcomes reports of pre-clinical and early clinical research. In addition to research, review, and hypothesis submissions, The FASEB Journal also seeks perspectives, commentaries, book reviews, and similar content related to the life sciences in its Up Front section.
