Abstract |
Probiotics and prebiotics for preventing and alleviating the degenerative changes associated with aging have received extensive attention. In the present work, Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) 69-2 with the highest antioxidant capacity combined with galacto- oligosaccharide (GOS) was used in aging model mice to evaluate the effect on aging and the regulation of gut microbiota. The combination of L. plantarum 69-2 and GOS supplementation could significantly (P < 0.05) improve liver function, antioxidant capacity, and inflammation accompanied by regulating the gut microbiota, increasing the short chain fatty acid (SCFA) levels, and activating the hepatic AMPK/ SIRT1 regulatory pathway. The results showed that L. plantarum 69-2 and GOS could activate the hepatic AMPK/ SIRT1 signaling pathway by regulating the gut microbiota and metabolites through the liver-gut axis to restore hepatic antioxidant activity to alleviate aging. The study provided a new insight for targeting the gut microbiota to relieve aging through the gut-liver axis.
