The present application belongs to the field of biological
medicine and
food technology, and particularly relates to application of milk-derived
extracellular vesicles in improving brain health and / or improving nerve-related discomfort conditions. Compared with the prior art, the present application constructs a chronic
restraint stress (CRS) induced
anxiety model in adolescent mice, and uses
open field test, buried bead test,
tail suspension test and other behavioral experiments for
functional evaluation. The results show that the milk-derived
extracellular vesicles significantly improve the
anxiety-like behavior of mice, indicating that the milk-derived
extracellular vesicles can significantly improve the
anxiety-like behavior of adolescent mice induced by chronic
restraint stress (CRS) by remodeling the gut-brain axis function, and that the supplementation of milk-derived
extracellular vesicles in adolescents can significantly reduce the susceptibility to anxiety in adulthood. At the same time, the present application also constructs a D-gal induced
cognitive impairment model in mice, and the results show that it can reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, inhibit
mucosal inflammation, thereby maintaining intestinal
homeostasis and alleviating
cognitive impairment.
