Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the effects of sesamin on intestinal flora in rats on high-fat diet by in vitro animal fecal anaerobic culture system. Results showed that treatment with sesamin increased the abundance of Lactobacillus acidophilus and inhibited the growth of E. coli. High throughput sequencing analysis showed that treatment with sesamin increased the abundance of probiotics such as Lactobacillus and Flavonifractor, and decreased the abundance of harmful bacteria such as Bacteroides, Enterococcus, Clostridium_XlVa, and Parabacteroides. Moreover, treatment with sesamin increased the concentration of total short chain fatty acids (acetic acid and isovaleric acid). In conclusion, sesamin intervention improved the composition and abundance of intestinal microorganisms of high fat diet rats, which would be beneficial to intestinal health.
