Abstract
Fermented foods have protective effects on body health. In our previously study, we found Lactiplantibacillus plantarum fermentation enhanced antioxidant activity of kiwifruit in vitro digestion. Then, in this work we explored the protective effect of fermented kiwi on intestinal injury induced by acute lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stress. Compared to non-fermented kiwi pulp (KP), Lactiplantibacillus plantarum fermented kiwi pulp (FKP-LP) contained more peptides, hormones and vitamins contents, lesser nucleic acid and carbohydrate contents. FKP-LP could relieve the intestinal injury by improving morphological of tight junction and upregulating tight junction proteins mRNA expression. Fermented kiwi maintained the mitochondrial morphology, mitochondrial respiratory function, and mitochondrial homeostasis, and relieved the LPS induced injury by regulating the contents of energy substances, and the respiratory chain complex enzyme activity through the pathway of AMPK and its downstream factors including PGC-1α, NRF1, NRF2, TFAM, and ULK2.
