Prebiotic inulin as a treatment of obesity related nonalcoholic fatty liver disease through gut microbiota: a critical review

Yaolian Hu et al.

Summary: Microbial-derived products participate in the regulation of hepatic lipid metabolism, and prebiotics can control body weight and alleviate hepatic fat accumulation by modulating the microbial community structure. Individual differences in host response to prebiotic treatment may be due to the multiple relationships among bacterial species and their ability to degrade inulin. Therefore, analyzing the composition and function of initial gut microbiota is essential for improving the efficacy of prebiotic supplementation.

Inulin reduces liver triacylglycerol by increasing lipid droplet lipolysis in fat-loaded mice

Bingbing Chen et al.

Summary: Increased consumption of high-fat low-fiber foods is associated with the development of metabolic syndromes. Fermentable dietary fiber, such as inulin, can alleviate metabolic abnormalities. This study systematically investigated the effect of inulin on mice with metabolic disorders induced by short-term and long-term high-fat feeding. The results showed that inulin reduced body weight, improved glucose intolerance, and alleviated hepatic steatosis in both groups of mice, suggesting a potential mechanism mediated through the modulation of gut microbiota.

Impact of molecular interactions between hydrophilic phytosterol glycosyl derivatives and bile salts on the micellar solubility of cholesterol

Yuyuan Hu et al.

Summary: The aim of this study is to investigate the molecular interaction between phytosterol glycosyl derivatives and bile salts, and their impact on cholesterol solubilization. It was found that the introduction of phytosterol glycosyl derivatives into cholesterol-loaded bile salt micelles resulted in a sharp decrease in cholesterol solubility, along with changes in micelle properties. Nuclear magnetic resonance revealed that the structural change was caused by the insertion of beta-sitosterol glycosyl derivatives via hydrogen bonds with sodium taurocholate. The glycosyl moiety of beta-sitosterol glycosyl derivatives significantly influenced the hydrogen-bond interactions.

Multi-omics signatures in new-onset diabetes predict metabolic response to dietary inulin: findings from an observational study followed by an interventional trial

N. Daskova et al.

Summary: This study found that the composition of the gut microbiota and metabolome (MIME) differs across metabolic spectra and specific MIME patterns could explain the different responses to dietary interventions. The response to dietary inulin could be predicted based on the baseline MIME signature and clinical characteristics.

Inulin diet uncovers complex diet-microbiota-immune cell interactions remodeling the gut epithelium

Renan Oliveira Correa et al.

Summary: This study found that dietary fiber can regulate intestinal stem cell proliferation and intestinal epithelial structure. The consumption of inulin, a type of dietary fiber, was shown to increase the proliferation of intestinal stem cells, leading to deeper crypts and longer colons. However, this effect was dependent on the altered gut microbiota by inulin and the presence of specific T lymphocytes and IL-22.

The lipid-lowering effects of fenugreek gum, hawthorn pectin, and burdock inulin

Yi Wang et al.

Summary: The present study investigated the lipid-lowering effects and mechanisms of fenugreek gum, hawthorn pectin, and burdock inulin on hyperlipidemic rats induced by a high-fat diet. The results showed that these dietary supplements could decrease the levels of serum lipid and reduce the damage caused by the high-fat diet. Hawthorn pectin and burdock inulin restored the severity of hyperlipidemia and improved the imbalance of intestinal microbiota, while fenugreek gum enhanced cholesterol and bile acid excretion. Overall, these findings suggested the potential use of these supplements in obesity management.

Summary: This study demonstrated that the mechanisms underlying the metabolic and genetic components of NAFLD are fundamentally different. The metabolic component is characterized by hepatic oversupply of substrates, while the genetic component is characterized by impaired hepatic mitochondrial function.

Hepatic SIRT6 Modulates Transcriptional Activities of FXR to Alleviate Acetaminophen-induced Hepatotoxicity

Changhui Liu et al.

Summary: This study reveals the protective effects of SIRT6 and its mechanisms in defending against APAP-induced hepatotoxicity. SIRT6 expression is reduced in acute liver injury, and its deletion enhances liver injury by affecting glutathione and N-acetyl-p-benzoquinoneimine levels. Overexpression or activation of SIRT6 alleviates hepatotoxicity through normalization of liver damage, inflammation, and oxidative stress. SIRT6 regulates FXR and its activation mitigates hepatotoxicity. Pharmacological activation of SIRT6 may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for APAP overdose-induced liver injury.

The gut peptide Reg3g links the small intestine microbiome to the regulation of energy balance, glucose levels, and gut function

Jae Hoon Shin et al.

Summary: This study found that both diets high in fermentable fiber and vertical sleeve gastrectomy increase the expression and circulation of the anti-microbial peptide Reg3g in the intestines. Moreover, the beneficial effects of these interventions on gut function, energy balance, and glucose regulation are not present in mice lacking Reg3g. Peripheral administration of various preparations of Reg3g improves glucose tolerance, and this effect depends on the putative receptor Extl3 in the pancreas.

Summary: Obesity is a major risk factor for developing gallstone disease, possibly related to alterations in the gut microbiota. Studies on the gut microbiota in patients with GSD have shown significant changes in specific bacterial phyla. The impact of GSD on microbial diversity and the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio remains unclear.

Summary: Bile acids play key roles in gut metabolism, cell signaling, and microbiome composition. Microbes in the gut modify primary bile acids into diverse forms, and alterations in these secondary bile acids have been linked to various diseases. Recent studies have shown that gut microbiota can conjugate amino acids to bile acids, greatly increasing the diversity of bile acids in mammalian gut.
