Example 7 Effect of a synbiotic preparation prepared from Bifidobacterium animalis subspecies lactobacilli CCFM1363 and Glycyrrhiza glabra fermented metazoan on liver fat accumulation and lesions in high fat diet mice
The grouping, modeling and treatment method of mice were the same as in example 4.
After the end of the experiment, the mice were bled and sacrificed, and liver tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde solution for 24 hours, and hematoxylin-eosin (H & E) staining was performed to evaluate the degree of liver steatosis and inflammation. Frozen sections of fresh liver tissue embedded in OCT were cut and stained with oil red O to observe liver lipid accumulation. The stained tissue sections were observed with an optical microscope. The staining results are shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.
As can be seen from fig. 5 and 6, the liver tissue of the mice in the group of post-fermentation primordial administration of licorice prepared from the blank group and bifidobacterium animalis subspecies CCFM1363 is uniformly colored, the fat accumulation is less, and the liver cells are compact and uniform and take on a regular shape. The liver tissues of the other groups of mice have more fat accumulation, obvious pathological changes, a large number of fat vacuoles around cells, loose connection of liver cells, outflow of cell contents, swelling of cells and damage of cell integrity. Experimental results show that the mixture of the bifidobacterium animalis subspecies of the milk CCFM1363 and the licorice extract or the prepared licorice fermentation metagen effectively inhibits liver fat accumulation and lesions of high-fat diet mice, and particularly the metagen preparation obviously reduces the liver damage and fatty lesion degree.
Example 8 Effect of a synbiotic preparation prepared from Bifidobacterium animalis subspecies lactis CCFM1363 and a Glycyrrhiza uralensis fermented metazoan on blood lipid in high fat diet mice
The grouping, modeling and treatment method of mice were the same as in example 4.
After the experiment is finished, the mice are taken and killed, the whole blood of the mice is kept stand for 1h and centrifuged for 3000g and 15min to obtain serum, and a full-automatic biochemical analyzer is adopted to detect blood fat related indexes, wherein the related indexes comprise TG (triglyceride), TC (total cholesterol), HDL-C (high density lipoprotein cholesterol) and LDL-C (low density lipoprotein cholesterol), and the result is shown in figure 7.
As can be seen from fig. 7, the model group TC and TG content were significantly increased compared to the control group, indicating that lipid accumulation in mice caused an increase in blood lipid. The result of the pharmaceutical intervention shows that compared with a model group, the mice group of the bifidobacterium lactis CCFM1363 and the licorice extract of the single intragastric animal respectively have the TC respectively reduced by 6.301 percent and 9.032 percent, the TG respectively reduced by 20.152 percent and 22.222 percent, and the content of the synbiotic preparation and the licorice fermented synbiotic preparation group is reduced to different degrees, wherein the content of the fermented synbiotic of the bifidobacterium lactis CCFM1363 and the licorice extract of the animal respectively reduced by 21.075 percent and 29.885 percent in TC and TG indexes, and the content of the synbiotic preparation respectively reduced by 8.081 percent and 29.502 percent in TC and TG indexes;
Meanwhile, compared with a control group, the contents of LDL-c and HDL-c in a model group are obviously increased compared with a blank group, and the result of the pharmaceutical intervention shows that compared with the model group, the contents of LDL-c and HDL-c in a single intragastric animal bifidobacterium subspecies CCFM1363 mouse group are respectively reduced by 2.848 percent and 1.607 percent, and compared with the model group, the contents of LDL-c and HDL-c in a single intragastric licorice extract mouse group are respectively reduced by 15.913 percent and 0.952 percent, which are not as good as the effects of the metaplastic preparation and the radix glycyrrhizae after fermentation. The effect of reducing the levels of LDL-c and HDL-c of the synbiotic preparation reaches 21.441 percent and 1.964 percent, the effect of reducing the levels of LDL-c and HDL-c of the radix glycyrrhizae after fermentation reaches 22.111 percent and 18.869 percent respectively, which shows that the synbiotic preparation of bifidobacterium animalis subspecies CCFM1363 and radix glycyrrhizae extract and the synbiotic after fermentation of radix glycyrrhizae have good potential in reducing the blood lipid level, and further shows that the rise of the blood lipid caused by the accumulation of lipid can be reduced according to the four indexes of the blood lipid of mice.
Example 9 Effect of a synbiotic preparation prepared from Bifidobacterium animalis subspecies lactis CCFM1363 and Glycyrrhiza glabra post-fermentation prebiotics on liver function of high fat diet mice
The grouping, modeling and treatment method of mice were the same as in example 3.
After the experiment is finished, taking blood and dying the mice, standing the whole blood of the mice for 1h, centrifuging for 3000g and 15min to obtain serum, and detecting liver function related indexes by adopting a full-automatic biochemical analyzer, wherein the related indexes comprise ALT (glutamic pyruvic transaminase) and AST (glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase), and the result is shown in figure 8.
As can be seen from fig. 8, the ALT and AST contents of the model were significantly increased compared to the control group, indicating that lipid accumulation due to the high-fat model caused chronic inflammation in the liver of mice. ALT and AST contents in serum of mice of the synbiotic preparation and the licorice fermented metazoan intervention group are reduced to different degrees compared with a model group, which shows that inflammatory reaction caused by liver lipid accumulation can be reduced, wherein the AST contents 29.428 percent and 28.457 percent of the synbiotic preparation and the licorice fermented metazoan preparation are respectively reduced, and the ALT contents 42.588 percent and 37.825 percent are respectively reduced.
Example 10 Effect of a synbiotic preparation prepared from Bifidobacterium animalis subspecies lactis CCFM1363 and Glycyrrhiza glabra fermentation metazoan on expression of genes related to fat metabolism in high-fat diet mice
The grouping, modeling and treatment method of mice were the same as in example 4.
After the experiment is finished, the mice are taken and killed, total RNA in liver tissues of the mice is extracted by using an animal RNA extraction kit, and then the extracted RNA is reversely transcribed into cDNA by using a reverse transcription kit. Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was performed using cDNA as a template by using a fluorescent dye-ligation method, and mRNA expression levels of the target genes MGL, HSL, ATGL, PPAR-alpha, PPAR-gamma and Fasn were calculated by a 2 -ΔΔCt method using mouse GAPDH as an internal reference gene. Each group of genes of interest was expressed as its expression level relative to the blank (set to 1.0). Primers were synthesized by Shanghai Biotechnology Co., ltd, and the primer sequences are shown in Table 4.

As is clear from fig. 9, the relative expression levels of PPAR- γ and FASN in the model group were significantly improved, and the relative expression levels of PPAR- α and ATGL, HSL, MGL were reduced, compared with the blank group, indicating that the high-fat diet significantly promoted lipid synthesis in the liver of mice and inhibited lipid breakdown, and also explained the phenomenon of liver fat accumulation in the high-fat diet mice.
The synbiotic preparation prepared from the bifidobacterium animalis subspecies CCFM1363 and the licorice extract and the licorice fermentation postnatal preparation can improve MGL, HSL, ATGL, PPAR-alpha gene expression and reduce PPAR-gamma and Fasn gene expression to different degrees, thereby reducing organism lipid accumulation.
Compared with a model group, the PPAR-gamma and FASN levels are reduced by 16.732 percent and 39.631 percent after the intervention of the synbiotic preparation, the ATGL, mgl, hsl, PPAR-alpha gene levels are improved by 282.479 percent, 55.149 percent, 363.935 percent and 55.032 percent, the PPAR-gamma and FASN levels are reduced by 47.273 percent and 42.045 percent after the intervention of the synbiotic preparation after the fermentation of liquorice, and the effects of the synbiotic preparation and the liquorice after the fermentation are better than those of the bifidobacterium lactis CCFM1363 or the liquorice extract of the single gavaginary animal. It shows that the co-production preparation of animal bifidobacterium subspecies CCFM1363 and licorice extract or the fermentation post-production of licorice can raise MGL, HSL, ATGL, PPAR-alpha gene expression, reduce PPAR-gamma and Fasn gene expression and reduce body lipid accumulation.
