Description

本発明は、腸内環境改善用組成物に関する。   The present invention relates to a composition for improving the intestinal environment.

近年、腸内細菌叢(腸内フローラ)と健康との関係について研究が進んでいる。特に、次世代シーケンサーを用いた研究により、腸内フローラを構成する菌種のバランスが崩れると、多様な疾患が引き起こされることが分かってきた。つまり、腸内フローラの菌種のバランスが健康維持に極めて重要であるとの知見が得られてきている。このため、菌そのもの、あるいは低分子化合物などを投与するなどして、腸内フローラの構成を変化させ、疾患を治療・予防したり、健康を維持しようとするという試みも始まっている。   In recent years, research has been conducted on the relationship between intestinal flora (intestinal flora) and health. In particular, research using a next-generation sequencer has revealed that various diseases are caused when the balance of the bacterial species constituting the intestinal flora is lost. That is, the knowledge that the balance of the bacterial species of the intestinal flora is extremely important for health maintenance has been obtained. For this reason, attempts have been made to change the composition of the intestinal flora by treating bacteria themselves or low molecular weight compounds to treat / prevent diseases and maintain health.

また、日常摂取する食事の内容によって腸内細菌のバランスが異なることが知られている。(i)脂肪分や動物性タンパクの多い食事を摂る人と、(ii)野菜中心で炭水化物の多い食事を摂る人とでは、腸内に存在する微生物の比率が異なることが分かっている。特に、前記(i)(ii)の人の腸内の特定の種の細菌の比率に基づくと、二つのカテゴリー(すなわち、エンテロタイプ:enterotype)に分けられる。具体的には、前記(i)の人ではバクテロイデス(Bacteroides)属の比率が高く、一方前記(ii)の人ではプレボテラ(Prevotella)属の比率が高い(非特許文献1)。   In addition, it is known that the balance of intestinal bacteria varies depending on the content of meals taken daily. It has been found that the ratio of microorganisms present in the intestine is different between (i) a person who eats a diet rich in fat and animal protein, and (ii) a person who eats a diet rich in carbohydrates mainly in vegetables. In particular, based on the proportion of bacteria of a specific species in the human intestine of (i) (ii) above, it can be divided into two categories (ie, enterotype). Specifically, the ratio of the genus Bacteroides is high in the person (i), while the ratio of the genus Prevotella is high in the person (ii) (Non-patent Document 1).

さらには、地中海式食事のような野菜を中心とした食物繊維が多い食事は、腸内細菌叢に良い影響をもたらし、健康レベルを上げることも知られている。   Furthermore, it is also known that a diet rich in dietary fiber centered on vegetables, such as a Mediterranean diet, has a positive effect on the gut microbiota and increases the level of health.

これらのことから、より健康的な生活を送るためには、腸内フローラにおいて、プレボテラ属の菌の占有比率を高め、腸内環境を改善することが重要と考えられる。   From these facts, in order to live a healthier life, it is considered important to improve the intestinal environment by increasing the occupation ratio of Prebotella bacteria in the intestinal flora.

あしたば及びβクリプトキサンチンは、いずれも抗肥満素材として知られているが、対照的な結果を示した。すなわち、あしたばを高脂肪食とあわせて摂取した群では、プレボテラ属の菌が腸内フローラにおいて占める割合は改善(増加)するどころか、むしろ高脂肪食のみを摂取した群よりも有意に悪化(減少)した。一方、β−クリプトキサンチンを高脂肪食とあわせて摂取した群では、プレボテラ属の菌が腸内フローラにおいて占める割合は高脂肪食のみを摂取した群に比べて改善(増加)しており、普通食のみを摂取した群と比べても遜色なかった。   Ashitaba and β-cryptoxanthin, both known as anti-obesity materials, showed contrasting results. In other words, in the group that took tomato together with the high-fat diet, the proportion of Prevotella spp. In the intestinal flora improved (increased), but was significantly worse (decreased) than the group that took only the high-fat diet. )did. On the other hand, in the group that ingested β-cryptoxanthin with a high-fat diet, the proportion of Prevotella spp. In the intestinal flora has improved (increased) compared to the group that ingested only a high-fat diet. Compared to the group that took only food, it was inferior.

またさらに、T−RFLP解析プロファイルに基づき、クラスター解析を実施した結果(デンドログラム)を図2に示す。β−クリプトキサンチンを高脂肪食とあわせて摂取した群と、普通食のみを摂取した群とが、よく似たプロファイルを有することが明らかとなった。なお、クラスター解析には、以下のソフト及び手法を用いた。
解析ソフト:Gene Maths(Applied1Maths、Belgium)
クラスタリング方法:UPGMA
距離関数:ピアソンの相関関数
Furthermore, the result (dendrogram) which implemented cluster analysis based on the T-RFLP analysis profile is shown in FIG.
