Effect of Xiaozhitang on Intestinal Flora of Mice with NAFLD
Objective: To observe the effect of Xiaozhitang on intestinal flora of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) model. Method: Mice were fed with D12492 high-fat diet for 16 weeks to establish the NAFLD model. After successful modeling
they were randomly divided into model group
high-dose Xiaozhitang group
middle-dose Xiaozhitang group
low-dose Xiaozhitang group
fenofibrate group
normal control group and Xiaozhitang control group. All of the mice were given normal diet. Meanwhile
drug groups were given the corresponding drugs
and control group was given equal volume of normal saline. Nine weeks after administration
all of the mice were treated with intraperitoneal anesthesia with 3% hydrate to collect serum. Total cholesterol (TC) and Triglyceride (TG) content in liver tissues and aspartase aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) content in serum were detected by automatic biochemical analyzer. The expressions of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)
interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Lpopolysaccharide (LPS) were detected by enzymes linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Two liver tissues were collected for paraffin embedding
hematoxyhin-easin(HE) staining and oil red O staining. Bacterial counts of Prevotella
Bifidobacterium
Escherichia coli
Fusobacterium and Lactobacillus were examined by Real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). Result: Compared with normal group
blood lipid
insulin (INS) and insulin resistance index (HOMAR-IR) were significantly increased in model group (P< 0.05
P< 0.01). Compared with model group
TC
TG
FBG
FINS
HOMA-IR were lower in experimental group (P< 0.05
P< 0.01). However
there was no difference between model group and fenofibrate group. The bacterial counts of Prevotella
Bifidobacterium
Fusobacterium and Lactobacillus in model group were lower than normal group (P< 0.01)
and Escherichia coli was higher in model group. The bacterial counts of Prevotella
Bifidobacterium
Fusobacterium and Lactobacillus were much higher in high-dose group and middle-dose group than that of model group (P< 0.05
P< 0.01). However
the bacterial count of Escherichia coli was lower than model group (P< 0.01). There was no difference between model group
the low-dose group and the Fenofibrate group. Conclusion: Xiaozhitang can significantly improve insulin resistance of NAFLD
reduce lipid and inflammation
which may be related to its effects in adjusting intestinal flora and improving the growth of Lactobacillus
