Popis: Objectives Our goal was to test the anti-obesity effects of supplementing inulin and compound probiotic (CP) alone or in combination on HFD-mice model. Material and methods Fifty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into five groups of varying diets as follows: normal chow diet (NCD), high-fat diet(HFD), HFD + inulin, HFD + CP, HFD + inulin + CP. Each group consisted of five males and five females. All mice were sacrificed to test obesity parameters adipocytokines、blood lipid parameters and inflammatory factor after seven weeks. Results Compared to male mice HFD group, the supplement of inulin and CP alone significantly improved HFD-induced obesity by regulating weight gain blood lipid metabolism inflammatory cytokines and adipokines. However, inulin combined CP had a better anti-obesity effect. For the female mice, body weight blood lipids and glucose liver weight and Free fatty acid (FFA) were influenced to different degrees. Besides, the beneficial effects of inulin and CP treatment on HFD-induced obesity showed gender-difference. Conclusion This study demonstrated that prebiotic inulin and CP could have paly antiobesity effects on HFD male mice, respectively. The synergism of inulin combined with CP on improving HFD-induced obesity was observed in our study. Meanwhile, there were differences between male and female mice of above beneficial effects, providing a rational therapeutic method of HFD-induced obesity in the future.
