Protective effect of Limosilactobacillus fermentum HFY06 on dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis in mice.

ABSTRACT: Ulcerative colitis is one of the main gastrointestinal diseases that threaten human health. This study investigated the effect of Limosilactobacillus fermentum HFY06 (LF-HFY06) on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced murine colitis. The protective effect of LF-HFY06 was evaluated by examining the length and histopathological sections of colon, related biochemical indicators, and genes related to inflammation. Direct and microscopic observations showed that LF-HFY06 increased the length of the colon and ameliorated the pathological damage induced by DSS. The biochemical indicators showed that LF-HFY06 enhanced the activities of antioxidant enzymes total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) and catalase (CAT) in serum, while reducing the level of malondialdehyde (MDA). It was also observed th
