Abstract

Dietary supplements of fish oil and algae oil improve gut microbiota balance in mice on a high-fat diet.

  • Mice fed a high-fat diet supplemented with fish oil or algae oil showed improvements in hyperlipidemia compared to those on the high-fat diet alone.
  • Specific gut bacteria associated with short-chain fatty acid production, such as Butyricimonas, were restored to normal levels in the fish oil and algae oil groups.
  • The relative abundance of certain bacterial genera was enhanced in the groups receiving fish oil and algae oil.
  • Both fish oil and algae oil helped maintain the normal circadian rhythm of gut microbiota disrupted by the high-fat diet.
