“…3E), the relative abundances of Muribaculaceae, Lachnospiraceae NK4A136, Lachnospiraceae UCG, Eubacterium xylanophilum, Lachnoclostridium, Butyricicoccus, Roseburia and Alloprevotella in the guts of mice in the EPP group were significantly changed compared with those in the guts of mice in the control group. Studies have found that prickly pear polysaccharides and hijiki polysaccharides can improve barrier dysfunction and inflammation in mice by increasing the relative abundance of Muribaculaceae, 36,37 suggesting that EPP may also strengthen the gut barrier. In addition, the abundances of the butyrateproducing microorganisms Eubacterium xylanophilum and Butyricicoccus were found to be reduced in the gut of EPP mice, 38 and the butyrate content of mice will be discussed later.…”
