Abstract:
The abundance of
Akkermansia muciniphila in the intestine was negatively correlated to a series of metabolic diseases such as obesity and type II diabetes. In order to observe the effects of
Lactobacillus casei SY13, SY13 and fructo-oligosaccharide, SY13 and lactulose on
Akkermansia muciniphila in mice, 8-week-old mice and 9-month-old mice were studied. The mice were randomly divided into 5 groups:AP group (8-week-old mice, gavaged for 1 day, once a day), AO group (9-months-old mice, gavage for 1 day, once a day), BP group (8-week-old mice, gavage 28 days, once a day), BO group (9-month-old mice, gavage 28 days, once a day), 48 in each group.Each experimental group was divided into control group (sterile PBS, 0.3 mL),
Lactobacillus casei SY13 group (SY13, 10
9 cfu, 0.3 mL), SY13 fructo-oligosaccharide group (10
9 cfu;Fructooligosaccharides, 15 mg;0.3 mL) and SY13 lactulose group (SY13:10
9 cfu, lactulose:15 mg, 0.3 mL), 12 ineach group.The abundance of
Akkermansia muciniphila in jejunum, ileum, cecum and colon of mice were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The abundance of
Akkermansia muciniphila indirectly reflectedby CT values.The results showed that the CT value of SY13 lactulose group was significantly lower than that of the other groups (
p<0.05), the CT value of young mice was significantly lower than that of the aged group (
p<0.05). Compared with single gavage, CT value was lower in long-term gavage (
p<0.05).The research showed that, SY13-lactulose group had the best effect on increasing the abundance of
Akkermansia muciniphila in the intestine ofmice, and the lower the mice age, the longer the gavage time, the higher abundance of
Akkermansia muciniphila.At the same time, the longer the gavage, the longer the retention time of
Akkermansia muciniphila, which was not related to the age of mice and gavage.
