Abstract

Green banana flour (GBF) is rich in resistant starch that has been used as a prebiotic to exert beneficial effects on gut microbiota. In this study, GBF was evaluated for its capacity to restore gut microbiota and intestinal barrier integrity from antibiotics (Abx) perturbation by comparing it to natural recovery (NR) treatment. C57B/L 6 J mice were exposed to 3 mg ciprofloxacin and 3.5 mg metronidazole once a day for 2 weeks to induce gut microbiota dysbiosis model. Then, GBF intervention at the dose of 400 mg/kg body weight was conducted for 2 weeks. The results showed that mice treated with Abx displayed increased gut permeability and intestinal barrier disruption, which were restored more quickly with GBF than NR treatment by increasing the secretion of mucin. Moreover, GBF treatment enriched beneficial , and that accelerated the imbalanced gut microbiota restoration to its original state. This study puts forward novel insights into the application of GBF as a functional food ingredient to repair gut microbiota from Abx perturbation.
