    New progress has been made
    in the study of the protective effect and mechanism of jackfruit polysaccharides on the intestinal immune barrier and liver in rats with high fat-induced obesity.
    The research team studied the protective effect and mechanism
    of jackfruit polysaccharides on obesity-induced colonic oxidative damage and liver damage through a rat model of high-fat induced obesity.
    The results showed that jackfruit polysaccharides could repair intestinal mucosal damage to improve the barrier function of mucosa.
    and relieve inflammation and lipid accumulation in liver tissue, exerting a protective effect
    on the liver of obese rats.
    This study provides an important theoretical reference
    for the next research and development of functional polysaccharide products for characteristic tropical crops.
     
    Obesity is one of the biggest public health challenges facing the world today, and it is also a major problem
    for public health in our country.
    The latest research has found that active polysaccharides, as a class of functional substances, not only have immunomodulatory functions, but also mediate glycolipid metabolism by regulating ATGL-(PPAR-α), (SREBP-1c)-ACC/FAS and ACC-CPT1, and play an important role
    in maintaining the function and health of cells and tissues 。 In recent years, the research team of the Institute of Fragrant Beverages of the Chinese Academy of Thermal Sciences has systematically studied the antioxidant activity, immune regulation, gastrointestinal digestion and absorption and intestinal flora adjustment of functional polysaccharides in agricultural products, focusing on the key scientific issues of the mining and utilization of functional functional factors of tropical crops, taking jackfruit, bitter tea and other crops as the research objects, laying a theoretical foundation
    for the high-value development and utilization of tropical agricultural products.
     
    The protective effect and mechanism
    of jackfruit polysaccharide on the intestinal immune barrier and liver of high-fat-induced obesity rats was studied through a high-fat-induced obesity rat model.
    The results showed that jackfruit polysaccharides could improve colonic oxidative damage, inhibit small intestinal glucose transport to lower blood sugar, repair intestinal mucosal damage to improve mucosal barrier function, downregulate the expression of inflammatory genes TNF-α and IL-6, upregulate the expression of short-chain fatty acid receptor genes GPR43 and GPR41 and the tight junction protein Occludin, and enhance the intestinal immune barrier function and mechanical barrier function.
    It also significantly improved the blood lipid indexes of obese rats, alleviated inflammation and lipid accumulation in liver tissue, activated the lipolysis pathway (PPARα/PPARγ-LPL/HSL-CPT1) and the β oxidation pathway of fatty acids (PPARα/PPARγ-CPT1), inhibited the AMPK-mediated fat synthesis pathway (AMPK/(SREBP-1c)-ACC-FAS), and promoted the expression of free fatty acid receptor genes (GPR43, GPR41).
    It intervenes in the expression of thermogenic gene (UCP2), regulates lipid metabolism in liver and liver adipose tissue, and has the effect of
    protecting the liver of obese rats.
     
    The findings were published in Frontiers in the title "Polysaccharides from Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.
    (jackfruit) pulp improves intestinal barrier functions of high fat diet-induced obese rats.
