摘要： This study aims to explore the effects of Shatianyu (Citrus grandis L. Osbeck) whole fruit powder (SWFP) enriched in flavonoids and dietary fiber on loperamide-induced constipation after a 4-week administration in the diet, together with possible microbiota-mediated mechanisms. The SWFP intervention shortened the first defecation time and increased defecation frequency; it also increased the serum serotonin (5-HT) level and decreased the LPS level in constipation mice. SWFP promoted the development of colonic enterochromaffin cells (ECs) and upregulated the expression of 5-HT synthetic rate-limiting enzyme (Tph1) in ECs. Furthermore, SWFP downregulated the expression of colonic TLR-4, TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta and upregulated the expression of tight junction proteins. Besides promoting 5-HT secretion in ECs, butyrate was proved to play a positive role in enhancing intestinal barrier homeostasis through FFAR2/3. Notably, SWFP increased both the fecal butyrate contents and colonic FFAR3 expression in a dose-related manner. Likewise, SWFP enriched butyrate-production related microbes, such as Ruminococcus_torques_group, Ruminococcus, Dubosiella and Parasutterella. Thus, SWFP might alleviate constipation by regulating the microbiota to produce butyrate, thereby enhancing colonic 5-HT secretion and the FFAR3-mediated anti-inflammatory pathway.
