Effects of fourBifidobacteriaon obesity in high-fat diet induced rats

Abstract

The response of energy metabolism to administration of Bifidobacteria is strain dependent. Different strains of Bifidobacteria might drive different directions of fat distribution.

Burdock Fermented byAspergillus awamoriElevates CecalBifidobacterium, and Reduces Fecal Deoxycholic Acid and Adipose Tissue Weight in Rats Fed a High-Fat Diet

“…The fermented burdock group had significantly higher cecal lactate (47.5 fold), acetate (2.7 fold), propionate (3.0 fold), butyrate (6.3 fold), and total organic acid (3.4 fold) Since Bifidobacterium consumption has been reported to reduce body fat in rodents, 33,34) the relationship between perirenal adipose tissue weight and cecal Bifidobacterium was analyzed. There was a significant inverse correlation between perirenal adipose tissue weight and cecal Bifidobacterium (r ¼ À0:515, p < 0:05), but cecal Bacteroides was not correlated with perirenal adipose tissue weight (r ¼ 0:421, p > 0:05).…”

Type 2 diabetes and gut microbiome: at the intersection of known and unknown

“…53 In the case of probiotics interventions, not all but specific species and strains of bacteria demonstrate benefit. 51 Interventions with probiotics like Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium species for 4-12 weeks have demonstrated significant improvements in body fat and insulin sensitivity. In addition, interventions with prebiotics like resistance starch, inulin, arabinoxylan demonstrated improvements in biomarkers associated with metabolic syndrome.…”

Hypolipidemic and Bifidogenic Potentials in the Dietary Fiber Prepared from Mikan (Japanese Mandarin Orange: Citrus unshiu) Albedo

“…A recent study has demonstrated that different types of bifidobacterial feeding resulted in either a decrease in both TG and cholesterol concentrations, or only in the TG concentration, in the serum of rats (23). Additionally, it has been reported that many strains of bifidobacteria have a cholesterol-lowering effect (24).…”
