Coadministration of isomalto-oligosaccharides augments metabolic health benefits of cinnamaldehyde in high fat diet fed mice

Tijdschriftbijdrage - Tijdschriftartikel

Bacteriostatic properties of a potential anti-obesity agent cinnamaldehyde (CMN) may present untoward effects on the resident gut microbiota. Here, we evaluated whether the combination of Isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMOs) with CMN prevents unwanted effects of CMN on gut microbiota and associated metabolic outcomes in HFD-fed mice. Male Swiss albino mice divided into four groups (n = 10), were fed on normal chow, or HFD (58% fat kcal), HFD + CMN (10 mg kg-1 ) and HFD + CMN (10 mg kg-1 ) + IMOs (1 g kg-1 ) for 12 weeks. Effects on HFD-induced biochemical, histological, inflammatory and genomic changes in the gastrointestinal tract, liver, and visceral white adipose tissue were studied. Cosupplementation of CMN with IMOs potentiates its preventive action against HFD-induced increase in serum LPS and abundances of selected LPS producing bacteria (Enterobacteriaceae, Escherichia Coli, Cronobacter sp, Citrobacter sp., Klebsiella sp., Salmonella sp.). CMN and IMOs co-administration prevented HFD-induced decrease in selected beneficial gut bacterial abundances (Bifidobacteria, Roseburia sp., Akkermansia muciniphila, Feacalibacterium sp.). CMN's effects against HFD-induced increase in gut permeability, histological and inflammatory changes in the colon were further augmented by cosupplementation of IMOs. Similar effects were observed in hepatic inflammatory markers. Cosupplementation of CMN with IMOs and CMN alone administration prevented HFD-induced changes in peripheral hormones and lipid metabolism-related parameters. This study provides evidence that coadministration of IMOs with CMN potentiates its anti-obesity effect and limits the side effects of CMN on gastrointestinal flora. Further, this study gives us important direction for the development of a concept-based novel class of functional foods/nutraceuticals for improved metabolic health. © BioFactors, 43(6):821-835, 2017.
