Abstract We investigated the diversity and composition of microflora in feces of Lycopus lucidus Turcz.-fed mice. In
addition, we evaluated the production of major cytokines (Interleukin-6 and -10) which are related to inflammation
and fatty acid composition of several tissues. 16S ribosomal DNA sequencing-based microbiome taxonomic profiling
analysis was performed utilizing the EzBioCloud data base. Male mice fed on L. lucidus showed a significantly
reduced number of lactic acid bacteria and coliform in the feces compared with the control group (p < 0.05). 16S
rDNA sequencing analysis of fecal samples showed that L. lucidus supplementation decreased the community of
harmful microflora… More >
