Ginseng soluble dietary fiber can regulate the intestinal flora structure, promote colon health, affect appetite and glucolipid metabolism in rats

Potential of enhancing anti-obesogenic agriceuticals by applying sustainable fertilizers during plant cultivation

“…Moreover, ginseng soluble dietary fiber balanced the F/B ratio, promoted colon health, and significantly improved the proliferation of probiotics, including Bifidobacterium pseudolongum and Lactobacillus helveticus, which were correlated with glucolipid metabolism (Hua et al, 2021). Ma et al (2021) used enzymatic-modified potato dietary fiber to regulate intestinal microbiota; the enzymatic treatment with cellulases and xylanases significantly enhanced the bioactivity of dietary fiber to treat dysbiosis of gut microbiota, treatments increased the abundance and diversity of gut microbiota of mice, and significantly reduced the F/B ratio.…”

“…Also, it produced higher satiety and fullness. Ginseng soluble dietary fiber has also exhibited enhanced glucolipid metabolism levels (mainly on triglycerides), increased satiety, and retarded gastric emptying by modulating the levels of appetite hormones (glucagon-like peptide-1, ghrelin, peptide YY, and cholecystokinin), and improved intestinal structures and the concentrations of fecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) (especially acetic and butyric acids) (Hua et al, 2021). Ma et al (2021) found that potato dietary fiber modified enzymatically with cellulase and xylanase also improved the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) of C57BL/6 mice, including the acetic acid (implicated with growth inhibition of tumor cells), n-butyric and iso-butyric acids (energy source important to maintain the stability of intestinal epithelial cells and prevent colorectal cancers), and valeric and iso-valeric acids (effective inhibitor of pathogenic Clostridium), while markedly suppressed the propionic acid production (associated to adverse effects on the immune response).…”

The Role of Gut Microbiota in the Progression of Parkinson’s Disease and the Mechanism of Intervention by Traditional Chinese Medicine

“…Ginseng soluble dietary fiber increases the abundance of beneficial bacteria, such as Firmicutes and Bacteroides and regulates the levels of hormones, such as GLP-1, Ghrelin, and cholecystokinin. 101 Banana resistant starch can improve the diversity of the gut microbiota and adjust the overall structure of intestinal microbes, by increasing the ratio of Bacteroides / Firmicutes and the relative abundance of Cyanobacterium . It also downregulates the relative abundance of Deferribacteres and Tenericutes .…”

Integration of intestinal microbiota and metabonomics to elucidate different alleviation impacts of non-saponification and saponification astaxanthin pre-treatment on paracetamol-induced oxidative stress in rats

“…12–16 Studies have shown the intestinal microbiota plays a crucial role in regulating nutrient metabolism, digestion and biological activities. 17,18 To the best of our knowledge, the alleviation impact of Asta extract pre-treatment on PCM-induced oxidative stress associated with gastrointestinal tract and metabolite changes has not been studied. In this study, we integrated intestinal microbiota and metabonomic techniques to reveal the intervention mechanism of N-Asta and S-Asta against oxidative stress mediated by PCM overdose.…”
