Abstract
Here, the effects of konjac glucomannan (KGM) and oligo-glucomannan (KOGM) on improving Aβ-induced Alzheimer’s disease (AD) was investigated. Behavioral test suggested that both KGM and KOGM could significantly increase the spatial learning and memory of AD mice, with the latter be more effective. Biochemical examinations revealed that KOGM inhibited the Aβ accumulation and hyperphosphorylation of Tau protein, upregulated bdnf, trkb, pi3k and akt, and downregulated gsk3β. Metagenomic sequencing indicated that KOGM regulated the diversity and function of microbiota, especially bacteria belonging to Alistipes, thus promoting the production of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), as well as their cyclic levels. The strong relationships among gut microbiota, SCFAs and physiological index for AD suggested that KOGM could activated BDNF/PI3K/GSK3β pathway to ameliorate AD, by enhancing SCFAs levels. This study emphasized the KOGM as a potential prebiotic to prevent AD progression, through the gut-brain axis and constitutes a novel approach in AD treatment.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Functional Foods continues with the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. We give authors the possibility to publish their top-quality papers in a well-established leading journal in the food and nutrition fields. The Journal will keep its rigorous criteria to screen high impact research addressing relevant scientific topics and performed by sound methodologies.
The Journal of Functional Foods aims to bring together the results of fundamental and applied research into healthy foods and biologically active food ingredients.
The Journal is centered in the specific area at the boundaries among food technology, nutrition and health welcoming papers having a good interdisciplinary approach. The Journal will cover the fields of plant bioactives; dietary fibre, probiotics; functional lipids; bioactive peptides; vitamins, minerals and botanicals and other dietary supplements. Nutritional and technological aspects related to the development of functional foods and beverages are of core interest to the journal. Experimental works dealing with food digestion, bioavailability of food bioactives and on the mechanisms by which foods and their components are able to modulate physiological parameters connected with disease prevention are of particular interest as well as those dealing with personalized nutrition and nutritional needs in pathological subjects.
