摘要

目的

探讨人参皂苷Rb

、小檗碱及其联合应用对高脂饮食诱导肥胖小鼠肠道菌群的影响。

方法

42只SPF级雄性C57BL/6J小鼠高脂饲料喂养12周建立肥胖小鼠模型。将符合肥胖标准的32只肥胖小鼠任意分为4组：对照组、人参皂苷Rb

组(20 mg/kg)、小檗碱组(50 mg/kg)、人参皂苷Rb

＋小檗碱组(人参皂苷Rb

20 mg/kg ＋小檗碱50 mg/kg)，每组8只。连续灌胃给药8周，给药期间小鼠继续给予高脂饲料喂养。每周记录各组小鼠的体质量，每2周检测小鼠空腹血糖。实验结束后留取粪便，进行16 S rDNA测序，观察各组小鼠肠道菌群变化。

结果

与对照组比较，人参皂苷Rb

组、小檗碱组和人参皂苷Rb

＋小檗碱组第4～6周小鼠体质量降低，第4、6、8周小鼠空腹血糖降低(均

0.05)。人参皂苷Rb

组、小檗碱组和人参皂苷Rb

＋小檗碱组高脂饮食诱导的肠道生态失调均改善，拟杆菌门/厚壁菌门值增加，脱铁杆菌门、小螺菌属、螺杆菌属、多尔菌属、瘤胃球菌属和臭气杆菌属等有害菌群的相对丰度降低。

结论

人参皂苷Rb

、小檗碱及其联合应用可降低高脂饮食诱导的肥胖小鼠体质量，作用机制可能与其调节肠道菌群的结构有关。

Abstract

Objective

To investigate the effect of ginsenoside Rb

berberine

and their combination on the intestinal flora in obese mice induced by a high-fat diet.

Methods

Forty-two male SPF grade C57BL/6J mice were fed on a high-fat diet for 12 consecutive weeks to establish an obese mice model. The 32 up to the standard obese mice were randomly divided into four groups: the control group

ginsenoside Rb

group (20 mg/kg)

berberine group (50 mg/kg)

and ginsenoside Rb

+ berberine group (ginsenoside Rb

20 mg/kg+ berberine 50 mg/kg)

with eight mice in each group. The mice in each group received the corresponding drugs by gavage for 8 consecutive weeks

and the mice were fed with high-fat diet during the administration period. The body weight of the mice in each group was recorded every week

and the fasting blood glucose of mice in each group was detected every 2 weeks. After the experiment

fecal samples were collected for 16 S rDNA sequencing to observe the changes in the intestinal flora in each group of mice.

Results

Compared with the control group

the body weight from 4 to 6 weeks in the ginsenoside Rb

group

the berberine group and the ginsenoside Rb

+ berberine group were reduced

and the fasting blood glucose at 4

6 and 8 weeks were reduced (

0.05). Furthermore

the imbalanced intestinal flora induced by the high-fat diet were improved

manifesting as an increased ratio of Bacteroides/Firmicutes

and the relative abundance of harmful bacteria

such as Deferribacteres

Mucispirillum

Helicobacter

Dorea

Ruminococcus

and

Odoribacter

were reduced.

Conclusion

Ginsenoside Rb

berberine

and their combination could reduce the body weight of mice with diet-induced obesity

and this effect is likely mediated through the modulation of the intestinal flora composition.
