肥胖與腸道微生物菌叢生態失調，腸道障壁和慢性炎症有關。鑑於全世界肥胖症患病率高且不斷增加，安全，有效且廣泛使用的抗肥胖治療將是有益的。本研究經過動物實驗以餵食高脂飲食誘發肥胖及慢性炎症的小鼠，用牛樟芝(Antrodia cinnamomea)（WEAC）的水提取物提供給小鼠，並監測體重，脂肪積累，炎症標記，胰島素敏感性和腸道微生物菌叢生態。其結果發現以餵食高脂飲食餵養的小鼠在攝取牛樟芝(Antrodia cinnamomea)後，通過維持腸道完整性和調整腸道微生物菌叢生態，產生抗致肥胖，抗發炎和抗糖尿病作用。
BACKGROUND: Obesity is associated with gut microbiota dysbiosis, disrupted intestinal barrier and chronic inflammation. Given the high and increasing prevalence of obesity worldwide, anti-obesity treatments that are safe, effective and widely available would be beneficial. We examined whether the medicinal mushroom Antrodia cinnamomea may reduce obesity in mice fed with a high-fat diet (HFD). METHODS: Male C57BL/6J mice were fed a HFD for 8 weeks to induce obesity and chronic inflammation. The mice were treated with a water extract of A. cinnamomea (WEAC), and body weight, fat accumulation, inflammation markers, insulin sensitivity and the gut microbiota were monitored. RESULTS: After 8 weeks, the mean body weight of HFD-fed mice was 39.8±1.2 g compared with 35.8±1.3 g for the HFD+1% WEAC group, corresponding to a reduction of 4 g or 10% of body weight (P小於0.0001). WEAC supplementation reduced fat accumulation and serum triglycerides in a statistically significant manner in HFD-fed mice. WEAC also reversed the effects of HFD on inflammation markers (interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α), insulin resistance and adipokine production (leptin and adiponectin). Notably, WEAC increased the expression of intestinal tight junctions (zonula occludens-1 and occludin) and antimicrobial proteins (Reg3g and lysozyme C) in the small intestine, leading to reduced blood endotoxemia. Finally, WEAC modulated the composition of the gut microbiota, reducing the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio and increasing the level of Akkermansia muciniphila and other bacterial species associated with anti-inflammatory properties. CONCLUSIONS: Supplementation with A. cinnamomea produces anti-obesogenic, anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic effects in HFD-fed mice by maintaining intestinal integrity and modulating the gut microbiota.—文獻摘要
