Bamboo shoot fermented products alleviated DSS-induced ulcerative colitis in mice by effectively controlling inflammatory reactions and adjusting the gut microbiota and its metabolites.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bamboo shoots have been shown to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, improving digestion and regulating intestinal metabolic disorders. Edible fermented foods are subject to complex reactions during the fermentation process, leading to the creation of new bioactive compounds and enzymes, which can be beneficial for the relief of symptoms of ulcerative colitis. However, research on the use of fermented bamboo shoots for alleviating ulcerative colitis symptoms is currently limited.

Methods

The effects of fermented bamboo shoots on DSS-induced UC model mice were investigated and basic physicochemical indicators, such as the levels of inflammatory factors, the composition of gut microbiota and SCFA were analysed to investigate the mechanism through which fermented ba
