摘要
The purpose of this study was to investigate the hypoglycemic effect and mechanism of D endrobium officinale polysaccharide(DOP)on type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)mice established by high-fat diet and streptozotocin.The results showed that DOP improved glycolipid metabolism and serum inflammation levels,and inhibited intestinal-derived lipopolysaccharide(LPS)translocation,suggesting that inhibiting LPS-mediated intestinal barrier damage may be a key target for DOP to alleviate T2DM.Interestingly,the study found that DOP reduced intestinal inflammation and oxidative stress levels,significantly up-regulated the mRNA expression of tight junction proteins Claudin-1,Occludin and zonula occluden-1(ZO-1),and ameliorated intestinal epithelial damage.In addition,DOP strongly inhibited the intestinal pathogenic bacteria and LPS-producing bacteria Helicobacter,Enterococcus and Desulfovibrio with a reduction rate of 95%,73% and 9%,respectively,and promoted the proliferation of anti-inflammatory bacteria Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus by 139% and 8%,respectively.Taken together,the hypoglycemic effect of DOP was related to the protection of intestinal mucosal barrier,and its underlying mechanism lied in its excellent anti-inflammatory and gut microbiotamodulatory effects,providing a theoretical basis for developing DOP as a novel prebiotic in functional food for diabetes.
