摘要: In the present study, the in vivo absorption and fecal excretion of a purified fraction of polysaccharides from the fruits of Lycium barbarum L. (LBPs-4) in rats were investigated by labelling LBPs-4 with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC). It was found that the fluorescent labeled LBPs-4 (LBPs-4-FITC) was not detected in the plasma within 24 h following the administration of a single dose of LBPs-4-FITC (100 mg/kg of body weight) to rats, indicating that LBPs-4 was hardly absorbed in its prototype form. Instead, a smaller fragment dissociated from LBPs-4-FITC was observed in feces and was accumulated in a time-dependent manner, suggesting that LBPs-4 was excreted into the feces with a form of degradation. Meanwhile, we observed that LBPs-4-FTIC could modulate the fecal bacterial community profile via increasing the relative abundances of Bacteroides ovatus and Alistipes and promote the production of acetic acid. Furthermore, the monoculture experiment confirmed that LBPs-4 could be metabolized into smaller fragment by B. ovatus, producing acetic acid. Collectively, our study provides information on the destiny of LBPs-4 after oral administration: non-absorbed but moved to the large intestine and catabolized by gut microbiota, especially B. ovatus.
