Objective: Colitis is one of the main gastrointestinal diseases threatening human health.
Materials And Methods: In this study, a synbiotic composed of arabinoxylan (AX) and HFY06 was tested to determine its ability to relieve dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis.
Results: The experimental results showed that the synergistic effect of AX and HFY06 alleviated the weight loss of DSS-mediated colitis mice and lowered the disease activity index (DAI) score. Determination of biochemical indicators found that the synbiotic composed of AX and HFY06 increased the body's antioxidant capacity and reduced inflammation. The histopathological examination results showed that the colonic crypts of the mice in the model group were disordered, goblet cells were lost, and the mucous membrane was severely damaged. However, the combination of AX and HFY06 can significantly reverse the histopathological changes in the colon mediated by DSS. The gene expression of colon tissue was further determined, and the results showed that the synergistic effect of AX and HFY06 inhibited the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway, downregulated the mRNA expression levels of nuclear factor-κB-p65 (NF-κBp65), upregulated the mRNA expression of NF-κB inhibitor-α (IκB-α), inhibited the release of cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and cyclooxygenase (COX-2), and exerted anti-colitis effects.
Conclusion: This study shows that the synbiotic composed of AX and HFY06 has the potential to prevent and treat colitis.

The present study evaluates the effects of açai juice containing gluco-oligosaccharides and dextran, fermented by NRRL B-41408 (synbiotic juice), on the human fecal microbiota. The juice is subjected to simulated digestion and fecal fermentation after production and 42 days of refrigerated storage. High throughput 16S rRNA sequencing and HPLC are used to identify the bacterial cells and metabolites.

Prebiotics and probiotics are applied against multiple diseases including ionizing radiation-induced injury but their functions are not revealed enough. Here, we used a prebiotic, inulin hydrogels (IGs) to load multi-strain probiotics (MSPs) for protecting them from the gastrointestinal environment and improving their colonization in the gut; more importantly, they showed the synergistic effect against ionizing radiation-induced injury. Probiotics were embedded in a great number of channels of the IGs and used IGs as food.

Article Synopsis
- Probiotics and synbiotics can counteract the harmful effects of antibiotics given early in life, as shown in a study with mice.
- Mice treated with the antibiotic ceftriaxone experienced negative health impacts, including weight loss and reduced diversity of gut bacteria, leading to increased harmful bacteria.
- Supplementing with Bifidobacterium longum ssp. infantis 79 (B79) and 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL) helped restore gut health and immune function, with benefits lasting into adulthood.
Galactooligosaccharides and Limosilactobacillus reuteri synergistically alleviate gut inflammation and barrier dysfunction by enriching Bacteroides acidifaciens for pentadecanoic acid biosynthesis.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a debilitating inflammatory bowel disease characterized by intestinal inflammation, barrier dysfunction, and dysbiosis, with limited treatment options available. This study systematically investigates the therapeutic potential of a synbiotic composed of galactooligosaccharides (GOS) and Limosilactobacillus reuteri in a murine model of colitis, revealing that GOS and L. reuteri synergistically protect against intestinal inflammation and barrier dysfunction by promoting the synthesis of pentadecanoic acid, an odd-chain fatty acid, from Bacteroides acidifaciens.
