Supplementation Prevents Intestinal Barrier Injury and Gut Microflora Dysbiosis Induced by Sleep Deprivation.

Abstract

Sleep deprivation (SD) leads to impaired intestinal barrier function and intestinal flora disorder, especially a reduction in the abundance of the next generation of probiotic(). However, it remains largely unclear whethercan ameliorate SD-induced intestinal barrier damage. A 72 h SD mouse model was used in this research, with or without the addition of. The findings indicated that pre-colonization withcould protect against tissue damage from SD, enhance goblet cell count and MUC2 levels in the colon, boost tight-junction protein expression, decrease macrophage infiltration, suppress pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, and reduce apoptosis. We found that the presence ofhelped to balance the gut microbiota in SD mice by reducing harmful bacteria likeand, while increasing beneficial bacteria such as. Ion chromatography analysis revealed thatpretreatment increased the fecal butyrate level in SD mice. Overall, these results suggested that incorporatingcould help reduce gut damage caused by SD, potentially by enhancing the intestinal barrier and balancing gut microflora. This provides a foundation for utilizing probiotics to protect against intestinal illnesses.
