Abstract

One of the characteristic features of obesity is increased body weight and accumulation of adipose tissue. It is associated with low grade inflammation and gut dysbiosis. Probiotics and its products could be an ideal strategy to prevent or treat diabetes. In the present study, animals were induced obesity by providing them with high fat diet. Three purified bacteriocins i.e., DT24, PJ4 and TSU4, previously isolated and purified from various probiotic strains, were given as treatment strategies, following the induction of obesity. Upon the completion of the study, animals were sacrificed and were checked for their tissue expression of inflammatory mediators and adipokines. Serum hormone and cytokines analysis were performed to check their inflammatory state. Treatment with purified bacteriocin DT24 did not show any therapeutic effect in any of the parameter studied. Bacteriocin TSU4 on the other hand showed better reversal compared to DT24. Bacteriocin PJ4 showed the most promising results by reversing all the altered parameters significantly. It significantly reversed all the biochemical, immunological in terms of serum cytokines as well as altered morphological characteristics. PJ4 can be further explored to determine its mode of action. The anti-microbial proteins or to be more specific, bacteriocins, which shows broad spectrum efficacy, could be a better alternative in modulating gut microflora for the treatment of obesity and diabetes characteristics. The efficacy of bacteriocin PJ4 may also be due to the source of the host of Lactobacillus.
