OBJECTIVE: We aimed to study these effects in postnatally growth-restricted (PNGR) mice pups daily supplemented with HoP-DM or HHP-DM.
METHODS: PNGR was induced by increasing the number of pups per litter (15 pups/mother) at postnatal Day 4 (PND4). From PND8 to PND20, mice pups were supplemented with HoP-DM or HHP-DM. At PND21, the intestinal permeability was measured in vivo, the intestinal mucosal histology, gut microbiota, and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) level were analyzed.
RESULTS: HHP-DM pups displayed a significantly higher body weight gain than HoP-DM pups during lactation. At PND21, these two types of human milk supplementations did not differentially alter intestinal morphology and permeability, the gene-expression level of several mucosal intestinal markers, gut microbiota, and the caecal SCFAs level.
CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that HHP could be an attractive alternative to HoP and that HHP-DM may ensure a better body growth of preterm and/or EUGR infants.
目的:我们旨在研究在每天补充HoP-DM或HHP-DM的出生后生长受限(PNGR)小鼠幼崽中的这些作用。
方法:通过在出生后第4天(PND4)增加每窝幼仔的数量(15幼仔/母亲)来诱导PNGR。从PND8到PND20,小鼠幼崽补充有HoP-DM或HHP-DM。在PND21,在体内测量肠通透性,肠粘膜组织学,肠道菌群,短链脂肪酸(SCFA)水平进行分析。
结果:在哺乳期,HHP-DM幼崽的体重增加明显高于HoP-DM幼崽。在PND21,这两种类型的人乳补充剂没有差异改变肠道形态和通透性,几种粘膜肠道标志物的基因表达水平,肠道菌群,和盲肠SCFA水平。
结论:我们的数据表明HHP可能是HHP的一种有吸引力的替代方案,HHP-DM可以确保早产和/或EUGR婴儿更好的身体生长。
