Abstract EN
Rat was used to characterize Chinese Yam polysaccharides (CYPs).
In Exp.
1, maximum volume and rate of gas production in CYP 3-supplemented group were higher than other CYP-supplemented groups and control group, while pH values and NH3 contents in CYP 2-, CYP 3-, and CYP 4-supplemented groups were lower than control group.
Contents of acetate, propionate and butyrate increased by supplementing CYP 3 or CYP 4 compared to other groups, except for glucose-supplemented group.
Contents of isobutyrate for CYPs groups decreased compared to control group.
CYP 3 enhanced beneficial gut microbiota, but suppressed bacterial pathogens.
In Exp.
2, contents of acetate and butyrate in cecal digesta of rats fed 0.25 or 0.5 g/kg CYP 3 were higher than other groups on day 7.
pH values in 0.25 and 0.5 g/kg groups were lower than 1.0 g/kg group.
Contents of acetate in 0.25 and 0.5 g/kg groups were greater than other 2 groups on day 21.
Gut microflora in CYP 3-supplemented rats had greater diversity than non-supplemented rats.
CYP 3 enriched beneficial gut microbiota, but suppressed bacterial pathogens in rat cecum.
These findings suggested that CYP 3 is a good source of carbon and energy, and may improve bacterial community diversity and modulate short-chain fatty acid production in hindgut of rats.
