摘要

Purpose

Inulin-type fructans (ITF) are fermentable dietary fibres (DF) that can confer beneficial metabolic health effects through changes in the gut microbiota. Many papers suggest that complex food rich in DF could be more relevant than purified DF in terms of health effect. We compared the prebiotic effect of natural source of inulin (scorzonera) versus native inulin extracted from chicory root in a model of obesity.

Methods

Mice were fed during 6 weeks a low-fat (LF), high-fat (HF) or high-fat diet enriched with either purified inulin from chicory root (Inu) or lyophilized scorzonera (Sco), with the same amount of ITF intake (10%) versus a non-fermentable fibre (cellulose). Metabolic parameters were correlated with the gut microbiome composition (16S rRNA gene sequencing).

Results

Both inulin sources reduced food intake without significantly modifying body weight gain or adiposity compared to HF. Purified inulin and lyophilized scorzonera differentially modulate the gut physiology and microbiota. Both inulin and scorzonera shifted global gut microbial composition from HF group, decreased members of Desulfovibrionaceae and boosted bifidobacteria level. Some effects were specific to Sco group, such as the increase of Akkermansia and the decrease of Bacteroides, that correlated to biological outcomes. Inu improved hepatic steatosis whereas scorzonera boosted intestinal immunity markers and antimicrobial peptides expression, and increased intestinal crypt depth.

Conclusion

Differences occur between natural edible versus isolated sources of ITF. Both sources of inulin shifted the gut microbiota, but differently affected intestinal and lipid homeostasis. This study highlights the importance of food matrix and origins of fructans for their use in the context of metabolic disorders.
