“…Previous studies demonstrated that high fat diet reduced lipid metabolism including short chain fatty acids and the substrates for hepatic gluconeogenesis [29]. A recent study found that strawberry supplementation induced marked changes in functional potentials of microbial composition in db/db mice [30]. The present study has demonstrated the HFHS diet upregulated the genes of gut microbes with predicted functions related to in ammation and downregulated microbial genes related to lipids, carbohydrates, amino acid, cofactors and vitamins.…”

Abstract Background Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) has become one of most common and harmful chronic diseases worldwide. T2D is characterized as insulin resistant and is often associated with unhealthy dietary habits. The present study assessed the effects of freeze-dried Saskatoon berry powder (SBp) and cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G, an anthocyanin enriched in SBp) on metabolism, inflammatory markers and gut microbiota in high fat-high sucrose diet (HFHS) diet induced insulin resistant mice. Results Male C57 BL/6J mice received control, HFHS, HFHS + SBp (8.0 g/kg body weight/day) or HFHS + C3G (7.2 mg/kg/day, equal amount of C3G in 8.0 g/kg/day SBp) diet for 11 weeks. HFHS diet significantly increased the levels of glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, insulin resistance and inflammatory mediators in plasma. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequencing demonstrated that HFHS diet increased the ratio of Bacteroidetes/Firmicutes (B/F) phylum bacteria and an elevated abundance of Muriculaceae family bacteria in the feces of mice. SBp or C3G supplementation attenuated HFHS diet-induced disorders in metabolism and inflammatory markers, and increased B/F ratio and Muriculaceae abundance in mouse gut compared to HFHS diet alone. The abundance of Muriculaceae in the gut microbiota negatively correlated with body weight, glucose, lipids, insulin resistance and inflammatory mediators in mice. The results of functional predication analysis suggest that HFHS diet upregulated the genes of gut bacteria involved in inflammation-related cellular processes, and inhibited bacteria involved in metabolism. SBp and C3G partially neutralized the alterations induced by HFHS diet in gut microbiota implicated in metabolism or inflammation. Conclusion The findings of the present study suggest that SBp is a potential prebiotic food mitigating Western diet-induced disorders in metabolism, inflammation and gut dysbiosis, and C3G possibly contributes to the beneficial effects of SBp.

“…Similar beneficial effects of both berry pomace extracts were observed in the cloaca as well. These beneficial bacteria possess β-glucosidase activity and have the ability to metabolize berry anthocyanins into phenolic metabolites like p -couramic acid and benzoic acid ( 57 ). On the other hand, polyphenols in the berry pomaces may act as prebiotic support for growth of these beneficial bacteria, which produce lactate as the main fermentation product that can be assimilated in the cecum, serving as an energy source ( 58 ).…”

This study evaluated the performance, gut microbiota, and blood metabolites in broiler chickens fed cranberry and blueberry products for 30 days. A total of 2,800 male day-old broiler Cobb-500 chicks were randomly distributed between 10 diets: control basal diet; basal diet with bacitracin (BACI); four basal diets with 1 and 2% of cranberry (CP1, CP2) and blueberry (BP1, BP2) pomaces; and four basal diets supplemented with ethanolic extracts of cranberry (COH150, COH300) or blueberry (BOH150, BOH300) pomaces. All groups were composed of seven replicates (40 birds per replicate). Cecal and cloacal samples were collected for bacterial counts and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Blood samples and spleens were analyzed for blood metabolites and gene expressions, respectively. The supplementation of COH300 and BOH300 significantly increased the body weight (BW) during the starting and growing phases, respectively, while COH150 improved (P < 0.05) the overall cumulated feed efficiency (FE) compared to control. The lowest prevalence (P = 0.01) of necrotic enteritis was observed with CP1 and BP1 compared to BACI and control. Cranberry pomace significantly increased the quinic acid level in blood plasma compared to other treatments. At days 21 and 28 of age, the lowest (P < 0.05) levels of triglyceride and alanine aminotransferase were observed in cranberry pomace and blueberry product-fed birds, respectively suggesting that berry feeding influenced the lipid metabolism and serum enzyme levels. The highest relative abundance of Lactobacillaceae was found in ceca of birds fed CP2 (P < 0.05). In the cloaca, BOH300 significantly (P < 0.005) increased the abundances of Acidobacteria and Lactobacillaceae. Actinobacteria showed a significant (P < 0.05) negative correlation with feed intake (FI) and FE in COH300-treated birds, whereas Proteobacteria positively correlated with the BW but negatively correlated with FI and FE, during the growing phase. In the spleen, cranberry products did not induce the release of any pro-inflammatory cytokines but upregulated the expression of several Das et al. Cranberry and Blueberry in Broiler genes (IL4, IL5, CSF2, and HMBS) involved in adaptive immune responses in broilers. This study demonstrated that feed supplementation with berry products could promote the intestinal health by modulating the dynamics of the gut microbiota while influencing the metabolism in broilers.

In this study, nutritional composition (protein, lipids, carbohydrates, ash, and moisture), physicochemical properties (soluble solid content, titratable acidity, texture and instrumental colour on surface, and internal section), phytochemicals (total phenolic content and anthocyanin content), and antioxidant capacity (DPPH-2,2 -diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging capacity and ferric-reducing antioxidant power) of three strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) cultivars (cv. "Primoris", cv. "Endurance", and cv. "Portola") produced in the western region of Portugal (Caldas da Rainha) were evaluated. From the obtained, results no significant differences (P > 0.05) in nutritional composition were detected in all of the cultivars; with the exception of lower protein content observed in cv. "Portola" (0.57 g/100 g ± 0.04; P < 0.05). Regarding the a* value of whole strawberry fruits, no significant differences (P > 0.05) were found in any of the cultivars, which revealed a similar redness. The cv. "Endurance" revealed the highest bioactivity content compared to the other cultivars. Overall, these results provide important information about the high quality of strawberry produced in the western region of Portugal and may be used as a tool for adding value to a functional food in the Mediterranean diet due to the phytochemical composition and nutritional value of strawberry fruits
