Yiqi-Bushen-Tiaozhi Recipe Attenuated High-Fat and High-Fructose Diet Induced Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis in Mice via Gut Microbiota.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To investigate the treating effect of Yiqi-Bushen-Tiaozhi (YBT) recipe on nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) mice, determine whether the outcome was associated with gut microbiota, and clarify the regulating mechanism.

Methods

NASH mice were induced by high-fat and high-fructose diets (HFFD). In the fifth week, mice in the YBT group were orally administrated YBT (22.12g·kg^-1·d^-1) daily for 12 weeks. Fresh stool of mice was collected at the 16^th week for fecal 16S rDNA analysis. Hepatic pathology and biochemical indicators were used to reflect the improvement of YBT on hepatic inflammation and lipid metabolism in NASH mice. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to verify the results of PICRUSt analysis.
