Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sleep improvement products, and in particular to a sleep-improving Lactobacillus reuteri ZKLr0413 Zizyphus jujuba Mill. seed fermenting liquid and Lactobacillus reuteri ZKLr0413. BACKGROUND

[0002] Zizyphus jujuba Mill. seed is the dried seed of Ziziphus jujuba Mill. of the Rhamnaceae family, with a sweet taste and a neutral nature, and has the effects of calming the heart and soothing the nerves, nourishing the liver, and stopping sweating and generating fluid. It was first recorded in Shennong Bencao Jing. In the Bencao Gangmu written by Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty, it is mentioned that Zizyphus jujuba Mill. can be used to treat insomnia caused by gallbladder deficiency, and can also be used to treat symptoms of thirst and sweating, and is a Foot Lesser Yang and Earth Yin medicine. Modern research shows that Zizyphus jujuba Mill. has the effects of improving sleep disorders, antioxidant, anti-depression, anti-anxiety, and enhancing learning and memory. The flavonoids and saponins contained in Zizyphus jujuba Mill. are effective components for improving sleep. Therefore, how to improve the bioavailability of these effective components, promote drug absorption, and increase the content of active ingredients is a problem that needs to be solved in the process of Zizyphus jujuba Mill. resource development and utilization.

[0003] Microbial fermentation of Zizyphus jujuba Mill. can improve the above-mentioned problems existing in the utilization of Zizyphus jujuba Mill. to some extent. For example, CN116725179 A discloses a sleep-aiding and spirit-soothing herbal enzyme, which uses Zizyphus jujuba Mill. and ingredients such as mulberry, lily, and black date as raw materials, pretreats the raw material components by steaming, obtains a raw material liquid, and then inoculates a specific proportion of mixed strains of Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus reuteri, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus into the raw material liquid for fermentation, and obtains the herbal enzyme by filtration and centrifugation.

[0004] CN115990212 A discloses a composition made by fermenting Zizyphus jujuba Mill. ultra-fine powder with a mixed bacterial liquid of Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus casei, which has the function of regulating GABA-A receptors.

[0005] CN120000741 A discloses a probiotic and traditional Chinese medicine composition that can be used for treating insomnia, which uses up to 18 kinds of probiotics, and the required number of live bacteria for fermentation is as high as 200 billion CFU / g or more. The traditional Chinese medicine composition includes Zizyphus jujuba Mill., lily, Poria cocos, lotus seed, and mulberry.

[0006] It can be seen that the current means to enhance the sleep-aiding effect of Chinese milk vetch mainly focuses on mixed microbial fermentation or the addition of Chinese medicinal materials with synergistic effects. However, these strategies have obvious limitations in practical application. For the mixed microbial fermentation strategy, the competition among multiple strains easily leads to fluctuations in fermentation efficiency. The preference or competition for nutrients among different strains may result in insufficient conversion of flavonoids and saponins in Chinese milk vetch. Bacteriocins secreted by different strains or acidic substances produced by metabolism may also inhibit the growth of each other, causing an imbalance in the proportion of strains and significant fluctuations in product quality between batches. For the strategy of adding Chinese medicinal materials with synergistic effects, although the effects can be theoretically superimposed, the physicochemical properties of each component often differ. If a pretreatment scheme is designed for each material separately, the production cost will be significantly increased. If uniform process conditions are used, the components of some materials may be destroyed. In addition, the mixing of multiple components easily produces unknown compounds or precipitates, and even introduces complex risks of pesticide residues and heavy metal pollution, increasing the difficulty of component analysis and quality control and making it difficult to trace and control safety hazards.

[0007] Therefore, the development of a preparation of Chinese milk vetch fermented by a single strain can avoid metabolic conflicts between strains and simplify the production process, which is conducive to ensuring product safety and process stability. SUMMARY

[0158] 2. Modeling:

[0159] 90 Wistar rats of 8-9 weeks old and weighing 180-220 g were purchased. The rats were adaptively fed for 7 days, and the rats were free to eat feed and water, and the litter was kept dry; after 7 days, the body weight was weighed, and the rats were randomly divided into a blank group (10 rats) and a modeling group (80 rats), and the modeling group was intraperitoneally injected with PCPA for 2 days, and PCPA was prepared into a suspension with physiological saline before use according to the dosage of 400 mg / kg of the body weight of the rats, and the blank group was intraperitoneally injected with the same volume of physiological saline for 2 days.

[0160] The phenomenon of circadian rhythm loss was observed in the modeling group rats, which showed continuous activity during the day and night. Through the pentobarbital sodium reversal experiment, it was found that there was a statistical significance in sleep latency and sleep time between the blank group and the modeling group, which indicated the success of modeling.

[0161] 3. Experimental grouping and administration:

[0162] Blank group: 0.4 mL of normal saline was administered to each rat per day for 14 consecutive days.

[0163] The 80 modeling successful rats were randomly divided into a model group, a fermentation broth 1 group, a fermentation broth 2 group, a fermentation broth 3 group, a fermentation broth 4 group, a fermentation broth 5 group, an extract 1 group, and a diazepam positive control group.

[0164] Model group: 0.4 mL of normal saline was administered to each rat per day for 14 consecutive days.

[0171] Positive control group: 0.4 mL of a diazepam normal saline solution with a concentration of 1 mg / mL was administered to each rat per day for 14 consecutive days.

[0172] 4. Experimental methods and results

[0173] After the last administration of 30 min, each group of rats was intraperitoneally injected with 25.00 mg of pentobarbital sodium / kg of body weight in a quiet environment at 24~25℃.

[0174] The number of rats falling asleep within 30 min (the number of rats whose righting reflex disappeared for more than 1 min) was recorded, the sleep conditions of the rats in each group were counted, and the sleep rate was calculated. The results are shown in Table 6. It can be seen that, compared with the model group, the sleep rate of the rats in the fermentation liquor 1 group was significantly increased, close to that of the blank group, and higher than that of the fermentation liquor 2 group, the fermentation liquor 3 group, the fermentation liquor 4 group, the fermentation liquor 5 group and the extract group. This shows that the ZKLr0413 Zizyphus jujuba Mill. fermentation liquor provided by the application has the strongest ability to improve the sleep rate of insomnia rats.

[0176]

[0177] The time from pentobarbital sodium injection to disappearance of righting reflex and the time from disappearance of righting reflex to recovery were recorded to observe the effect of the test substance on pentobarbital sodium sleep latency and sleep time. The results are shown in Table 7. It can be seen that, compared with the model group, the sleep latency of the rats in the fermentation liquor 1 group was significantly reduced, close to that of the blank group, and significantly lower than that of the fermentation liquor 2 group, the fermentation liquor 3 group, the fermentation liquor 4 group, the fermentation liquor 5 group and the extract group. Compared with the model group, the sleep time of the rats in the fermentation liquor 1 group was significantly increased, close to that of the blank group, and significantly higher than that of the fermentation liquor 2 group, the fermentation liquor 3 group, the fermentation liquor 4 group, the fermentation liquor 5 group and the extract group. This shows that the ZKLr0413 Zizyphus jujuba Mill. fermentation liquor provided by the application has a significant sleep-inducing effect.

[0179]

[0180] Note: Different letters in the table represent significant differences, P <0.05.

[0181] After the rats were sacrificed, the whole brain was removed by craniotomy in an ice bath environment, and the brain was placed on an ice flat dish for separation. The brain was rinsed with ice 0.9% sodium chloride solution to remove blood, and then wiped dry with filter paper. After weighing the brain, 9 times the amount of ice 0.9% sodium chloride solution was added, and homogenization was performed at 4℃. The homogenized slurry was transferred to a 2 mL centrifuge tube, centrifuged at 3000 r / min for 15 min at 4℃, and the supernatant was taken. According to the related operation steps of the kit (purchased from Wuhan Pure Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), the contents of 5-hydroxytryptamine and gamma-aminobutyric acid in the supernatant were determined.

[0182] The results are shown in Table 8 below. It can be seen that, compared with the model group, the content of 5-hydroxytryptamine and gamma-aminobutyric acid in the brain of the rats in the fermentation liquor 1 group was significantly increased, close to that of the blank group, and significantly higher than that of the fermentation liquor 2 group, the fermentation liquor 3 group, the fermentation liquor 4 group, the fermentation liquor 5 group and the extraction liquor group. This shows that the Lactobacillus reuteri ZKLr0413 Zizyphus jujuba fermentation liquor provided by the application can significantly promote the release of 5-hydroxytryptamine and gamma-aminobutyric acid in the brain of the insomnia rats.

[0186] In summary, compared with other single-strain fermentation or mixed fermentation processes of probiotics, the Lactobacillus reuteri ZKLr0413 single-strain fermentation of Zizyphus jujuba extract liquid used in the application has significant advantages in multiple indicators: the number of viable bacteria, the content of total flavonoids and total saponins in the Lactobacillus reuteri ZKLr0413 Zizyphus jujuba fermentation liquor are higher, and these components have a positive effect on sleep regulation. The rat experiment further verifies the sleep improvement effect of the Lactobacillus reuteri ZKLr0413 Zizyphus jujuba fermentation liquor: compared with the model group, the sleep rate of the rats administered with the Lactobacillus reuteri ZKLr0413 Zizyphus jujuba fermentation liquor is significantly improved, higher than that of the rats administered with fermentation liquor 2-fermentation liquor 5 and sterilized Zizyphus jujuba extract liquid, and closer to that of the normal rats. This series of results show that the Lactobacillus reuteri ZKLr0413 provided by the application has good adaptability to Zizyphus jujuba extract liquid, can ferment Zizyphus jujuba extract liquid in a targeted manner, fully stimulate the active ingredients of Zizyphus jujuba, and thus effectively improve the sleep quality, providing a new effective solution for insomnia-related problems.
