Lignan-enriched nutmeg extract changes gut microbiota associated with aging in C57BL/6 mice
As the aging population grows, increasing interest in promoting healthy aging through dietary interventions is growing. Gut microbiota play a key role in age-related physiological decline and longevity. We investigated whether lignan-enriched nutmeg extract (LNX) could modulate the gut microbiota of aged mice. C57BL/6 mice (27 months old) were orally administered LNX for 5 weeks and compared to young (3 months) and aged controls. LNX significantly reduced body weight without affecting food intake. 16S rRNA sequencing showed that age-related microbial shifts, including decreased Firmicutes and increased Bacteroidota, were partially reversed by LNX. While microbial diversity was unchanged, LNX increased Bifidobacterium, Blautia, and Acetatifactor muris, a taxon previously associated with healthy aging, and reduced Turicibacter sanguinis, linked to normal aging. These findings suggest that LNX modulates specific microbial taxa without broadly restoring a youthful microbiota composition.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Functional Foods continues with the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. We give authors the possibility to publish their top-quality papers in a well-established leading journal in the food and nutrition fields. The Journal will keep its rigorous criteria to screen high impact research addressing relevant scientific topics and performed by sound methodologies.
The Journal of Functional Foods aims to bring together the results of fundamental and applied research into healthy foods and biologically active food ingredients.
The Journal is centered in the specific area at the boundaries among food technology, nutrition and health welcoming papers having a good interdisciplinary approach. The Journal will cover the fields of plant bioactives; dietary fibre, probiotics; functional lipids; bioactive peptides; vitamins, minerals and botanicals and other dietary supplements. Nutritional and technological aspects related to the development of functional foods and beverages are of core interest to the journal. Experimental works dealing with food digestion, bioavailability of food bioactives and on the mechanisms by which foods and their components are able to modulate physiological parameters connected with disease prevention are of particular interest as well as those dealing with personalized nutrition and nutritional needs in pathological subjects.
