Lactiplantibacillus plantarum-encapsulated microcapsules prepared from okra polysaccharides improved intestinal microbiota in Alzheimer's disease mice.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Okra contains a viscous substance rich in water-soluble material, including fibers, pectin, proteoglycans, gum, and polysaccharides. This study explored the use of okra polysaccharides by microorganisms and their potential to improve microbiota.

Methods

The regulation of microcapsules prepared from okra polysaccharides with or without L. plantarum encapsulation on intestinal microbiota was assessed through 16S metagenomic analysis and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in App^{NL-G-F/NL-G-F} mice (Alzheimer's disease; AD model).

Results

We found that Lactobacillaceae and Lactobacillus were majorly regulated by microcapsules prepared from okra polysaccharides in AD mice. Similarly, microcapsules prepared from okra polysacchar
