Effect of industrial trans-fatty acids-enriched diet on gut microbiota of C57BL/6 mice

Purpose Previous studies have shown that industrially originated trans -fatty acids ( i TFAs) are associated with several chronic diseases, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Because gut microbiota play a critical role in human health, diet competent induced gut microbiota dysbiosis may c...

Description
Summary:Purpose Previous studies have shown that industrially originated trans -fatty acids ( i TFAs) are associated with several chronic diseases, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Because gut microbiota play a critical role in human health, diet competent induced gut microbiota dysbiosis may contributing to disease pathogenesis. Therefore, the present study examined the impact of i TFA on gut microbiota, help understanding the underling mechanism of i TFA-associated chronic diseases. Methods Forty male 8-week-old mice were divided into 4 groups and randomly assigned to diets containing soybean oil (non- i TFA) or partially hydrogenated soybean oil ( i TFA). The intervention groups were: (1) low soybean oil (LS); (2) high soybean oil (HS); (3) low partially hydrogenated oil (LH) and (4) high partially hydrogenated oil (HH). The gut microbiota profiles were determined by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Physiological parameters and the inflammatory status of the small intestine and other tissues were analyzed. Short-chain fatty acid levels in feces were measured using gas chromatography. Results The intake of i TFA increased the abundance of well-documented ‘harmful’ bacteria, such as Proteobacteria and Desulfovibrionaceae ( P
