ClearDietary Supplementation with a Blend of Hydrolyzable and Condensed Tannins Ameliorates Diet-Induced Intestinal Inflammation in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Researchers evaluated the effects of dietary supplementation with a blend of hydrolyzable and condensed tannins (chestnut and quebracho wood extracts) on zebrafish with intestinal inflammation induced by a plant-based diet over 12 days. Tannin treatment at 1.7 and 3.4 g/kg of feed partially restored intestinal morphology and downregulated expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNF-alpha, IL-1b, CXCL8, and COX2.
Fermented Wheat Bran Polysaccharides Improved Intestinal Health of Zebrafish in Terms of Intestinal Motility and Barrier Function
Researchers found that fermented wheat bran polysaccharides improved intestinal health in zebrafish by enhancing intestinal motility and barrier function, suggesting their potential as functional food additives for gut health.
The Interaction between Oxidative Stress Biomarkers and Gut Microbiota in the Antioxidant Effects of Extracts from Sonchus brachyotus DC. in Oxazolone-Induced Intestinal Oxidative Stress in Adult Zebrafish
Researchers found that extracts from Sonchus brachyotus DC. alleviated oxazolone-induced intestinal oxidative stress in zebrafish by modulating antioxidant enzyme activity and reshaping gut microbiota composition.
Highlights
A study examined the therapeutic potential of snail mucus enriched with carob extract, finding in animal models that it could reduce markers of colitis and inflammation, suggesting a novel approach to managing inflammatory bowel conditions using a food-derived bioactive ingredient.
Dietary Curcumin Promotes Gilthead Seabream Larvae Digestive Capacity and Modulates Oxidative Status
Adding curcumin to the diet of gilthead seabream larvae improved their digestive capacity and antioxidant status. The research explores natural dietary supplements for improving fish health in aquaculture, which is relevant as farmed seafood is a source of microplastic exposure for humans.
Inhibitory Effects of Jiuzao Polysaccharides on Alcoholic Fatty Liver Formation in Zebrafish Larvae and Their Regulatory Impact on Intestinal Microbiota
Researchers investigated the protective effects of Laowuzeng Jiuzao polysaccharides on ethanol-induced alcoholic fatty liver in zebrafish larvae, finding that the polysaccharides reduced hepatic damage and regulated intestinal microbiota composition, suggesting therapeutic potential for alcohol-related liver disease.
Improvement of the intestinal epithelial barrier during laxative effects of phlorotannin in loperamide-induced constipation of SD rats
Researchers found that phlorotannin, a natural compound found in brown seaweed, relieves constipation in rats by repairing the intestinal epithelial barrier — the protective lining of the gut — suggesting it may support healthy gut function.
Black Lycium barbarum polysaccharide attenuates LPS-induced intestine damage via regulation gut microbiota
Researchers studied whether a polysaccharide from black Lycium barbarum could protect against intestinal damage caused by bacterial toxins in mice. They found that the supplement alleviated intestinal tissue damage and improved gut microbiota diversity by promoting beneficial bacteria. The study suggests that this plant-derived polysaccharide may help maintain intestinal health by modulating the gut microbial community.
Effects of Long-Term Triclosan Exposure on Microbiota in Zebrafish
Long-term exposure to triclosan at environmentally relevant concentrations significantly altered gut microbiota composition in zebrafish, reducing microbial diversity and shifting community structure in ways that could affect host immune function and metabolism.
Small fish, big discoveries: zebrafish shed light on microbial biomarkers for neuro-immune-cardiovascular health
This review highlighted how zebrafish serve as a powerful model for studying gut microbiome links to cardiovascular, neurological, and immune health, identifying microbial biomarkers that could inform future research on environmental stressor impacts including microplastic exposure.
Effect of Probiotic Supplimentations on the Gut Histoarchitecture of Stinging Catfish, Heteropneustes fossilis
This aquaculture study evaluated the effects of probiotic supplementation on gut histology in stinging catfish, finding that probiotics improved intestinal morphology—relevant to understanding how gut health modifications may influence susceptibility to microplastic-induced gastrointestinal damage.
Cyanidin-3- O-glucoside alleviates trimethyltin chloride-induced neurodegeneration by maintaining glutamate homeostasis through modulation of the gut microbiota
Researchers found that cyanidin-3-O-glucoside, a common dietary anthocyanin found in berries and other foods, helped protect against chemically induced neurodegeneration in mice by restoring glutamate balance in the brain. The study suggests that this protective effect is mediated through modulation of gut microbiota, highlighting a potential gut-brain connection in neuroprotection.
Dysregulation of gut health in zebrafish by differentially charged nanoplastic exposure: an integrated analysis of histopathology, immunology, and microbial informatics
Researchers studied how nanoplastics with different surface charges affect gut health in zebrafish using histopathology, immunology, and microbial analysis. The study found that gut damage and microflora disturbance caused by nanoplastic ingestion significantly depended on the surface functional groups of the particles.
Zebrafish: an efficient vertebrate model for understanding role of gut microbiota
This review describes how zebrafish serve as an efficient vertebrate model for studying gut microbiota and host-microbe interactions. Researchers found that zebrafish share key similarities with humans in intestinal physiology, and their optical transparency and high fecundity make them uniquely suited for microbiome research. The study outlines methods for creating germ-free zebrafish and summarizes current understanding of gut microbiota functions in this model organism.
