Abstract A novel type I arabinogalactan (AG‐I) polysaccharide (EPS) from Epiphyllum oxypetalum (DC.) Haw 's flowers is hypothesized to possess immunomodulatory activity. This study investigated EPS's effects on immune functions and its potential mechanism for enhancing intestinal health in immunosuppressed mice. The results showed that supplementing EPS significantly alleviated organ damage, increased the thymus index ( p < 0.01), regulated key factors, including tumor necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐α), immunoglobulin (IgA), complement 3 (C3) liver 0.05). promoted expression of barrier chemical proteins such as interferon‐γ (IFN‐γ) mucin 2 (MUC2) 0.05), effectively repairing damage. improved diversity structure microbiota mice 0.05) altered abundance immune‐related microbial taxa, Lactobacillaceae Lactobacillus 0.01). Furthermore, supplementation lactic acid metabolism, increasing levels by up 3.4‐fold enhanced Gpr81, Wnt3a, β‐catenin at bottom colonic crypts, which may repair physical barrier. Overall, represents a AG‐I dietary enhances immunity improves gut health.

ABSTRACT Background Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a severe microvascular complication of diabetes with complex pathogenesis. Methods Recent studies were reviewed to explore the role gut microbiota and its metabolites in DN development. Results Dysbiosis bacteria contributes pathological changes such as glomerular sclerosis renal tubule injury. Microbial are involved through immune inflammatory pathways. Conclusions Understanding relationship between microbiota, metabolites, may offer potential implications for diagnosis, prevention, treatment. Translating this knowledge into clinical practice presents challenges opportunities.

Fucoidan is an anionic polysaccharide derived from brown algae and composed of L-fucose residues linked by alternating α-(1→3) with α-(1→4) linkages or either alone. known for its pharmacological, antibacterial, antifungal properties used in the food industry. The aim study was to apply fucoidan formulation yeast killer toxin K2 produced Saccharomyces cerevisiae. toxin-loaded particles were formed a low-cost complexation method. They characterised dynamic light scattering, FT-IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy methods. ranged size 180 280 nm stable at least one month 4°C. encapsulated retained antimicrobial activity. In addition, increased stability room temperature. could serve as carrier enhance biotechnological potential agents S. Encapsulation opens up opportunities use beverage industry biopreservation.
