Abstract Purified diets (PD) increase standardization and repeatability in rodent studies but lead to differences in the phenotype of animals compared to grain-based “chow” diets. PD contain less fiber and are often devoid of soluble fiber, which can impact gut health. Thus, the aim of the present study was to modify the PD AIN93G by addition of soluble fiber, to promote more natural gut development as seen with chow diets. One hundred twenty male C57BL/6J mice were fed over 12 weeks either a chow diet, AIN93G or one of three modified AIN93G with increased fiber content and different ratios of soluble fiber to cellulose. Gut health was assessed through histological and immunohistochemical parameters and gut barrier gene expression. Gut microbiota composition was analyzed and its activity characterized through short chain fatty acid (SCFA) quantification. Feeding AIN93G led to tissue atrophy, a less diverse microbiota and a lower production of SCFA compared to chow diet. The addition of soluble fiber mitigated these effects, leading to intermediate colon and caecum crypt lengths and microbiota composition compared to both control diets. In conclusion, the addition of soluble fibers in PDs seems essential for gut morphology as well as a diverse and functional gut microbiome. |
