Ameliorative Effect of Hovenia dulcis Fruit Pedicel Polysaccharides on Alcohol-Induced Intestinal Injury in Mice Investigated Using 16S rRNA Sequencing and Metabolomics by ZHANG Yuchao, ZHU Sijie, LIU Liangyu, WANG Jianyun, ZHANG Jiaxin, SU Zexiong, CHEN Jiangyan, LIU Xudong

“…The results indicated that HDPs significantly reduced the levels of pro-inflammatory factors such as interleukin-4 (IL-4), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in mice with intestinal injury induced by alcohol, decreased the levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP), increased the level of α-amylase (AMS), and upregulated the tight junction protein Claudin 1, thereby improving intestinal barrier function. 16S rRNA sequencing revealed that compared to mice gavaged with alcohol at 114 µL/20 g mb, HDPs increased the abundance of the Lactobacillus genus and reduced alcohol exposure-induced disorders in gut microbiota diversity and structure. …”
