Introduction Hyperlipidemia is regarded as one of the crucial factors leading to atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases. Gut microbiota plays an important role in regulating host lipid metabolism. Nevertheless, exact mechanisms behind this remain unclear. Methods In present study, a hyperlipidemic zebrafish model was established using high-cholesterol diet (HCD) evaluate anti-hyperlipidemic effects Lactobacillus fermentum E15 ( L. E15). Results showed that effectively reduced accumulation blood vessels liver HCD-fed larvae. Meanwhile, improved abnormal levels, normalized enzyme activity. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis revealed downregulated expression sterol regulatory element-binding factor (SREBP-1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR- γ ), fatty acid synthase (Fasn), while upregulated receptor-alpha α ). Additionally, metabolomic produced series short-chain acids (SCFAs), including acetic acid, propionic butyric isovaleric acid. Notably, contributed reduction droplet contrast, blocking G-protein coupled receptor 43 (GPR43) with pertussis toxin (PTX) abolished on reducing RT-qPCR results further suggested both promoted GPR43 leptin A, which inhibited by PTX. Conclusion These findings alleviates HCD-induced hyperlipidemia activating through SCFAs.
