F1-7 demonstrates multi-pathway potential through mechanisms associated with gut hormone regulation, glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, inflammatory response modulation, intestinal barrier maintenance, and tissue health.
F1-7 may support intestinal motility and healthy bowel function.
Research indicates that F1-7 may influence several pathways associated with intestinal function.
The strain may enhance serotonin secretion, which is involved in intestinal motility and propulsive movement. F1-7 may also regulate aquaporin expression, potentially influencing water reabsorption and intestinal water balance.
In addition, F1-7 may promote intestinal mucin expression, helping maintain the intestinal mucus barrier and supporting a healthy intestinal environment.
-
Serotonin secretion increased by approximately 25%
-
Fecal water content increased to approximately 4.5 times that of the model group
-
Intestinal mucin gene expression increased by approximately 175%




Enhanced Serotonin Secretion
F1-7 may influence serotonin-related pathways associated with intestinal motility.
Aquaporin Regulation
F1-7 may regulate aquaporin expression and influence intestinal water balance.
Increased Mucin Expression
F1-7 may support mucin expression and help maintain the intestinal mucus barrier.
F1-7 may support healthy blood glucose regulation, glucose metabolism, and insulin sensitivity-related pathways.
Research suggests that F1-7 may promote the secretion of intestinal hormones such as GLP-1 and PYY, which are involved in glucose metabolism and metabolic regulation.
The strain may also influence the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and inflammatory pathways associated with metabolic health. These mechanisms may contribute to glucose utilization and the maintenance of pancreatic islet-related functions.
-
GLP-1 secretion increased by approximately 140%
-
Hepatic glucose uptake capacity increased by approximately 33%
-
Improved pancreatic islet morphology was observed in the experimental model



Promoting GLP-1 Secretion
F1-7 may influence GLP-1-related signaling pathways involved in glucose and metabolic regulation.
Supporting Hepatic Glucose Uptake
Research showed an approximately 33% increase in hepatic glucose uptake capacity, suggesting potential support for glucose utilization.
Supporting Islet Morphology
F1-7 was associated with improved pancreatic islet morphology and structural integrity in the experimental model.
F1-7 may support healthy lipid metabolism and blood lipid balance.
F1-7 may participate in pathways associated with bile acid metabolism and cholesterol absorption.
Research findings indicate that F1-7 was associated with changes in serum lipid indicators and hepatic lipid accumulation in experimental models. The strain may also influence fecal bile acid levels, suggesting a potential role in gut-liver metabolic pathways.
Research models showed:
-
Serum total cholesterol decreased by approximately 30%
-
Triglycerides decreased by approximately 29%
-
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) decreased by approximately 17%
-
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) increased by approximately 47%
-
Fecal bile acid content increased by approximately 25%
-
Reduced hepatic lipid droplet accumulation was observed




Supporting Hepatic Lipid Balance
F1-7 was associated with reduced lipid droplet accumulation in the liver in the research model.
Supporting Serum Lipid Balance
Changes were observed in total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, and HDL levels.
Modulating Bile Acid Metabolism
F1-7 may influence bile acid metabolism and related gut-liver metabolic pathways.
F1-7 may support liver health and antioxidant defense under alcohol-related metabolic stress.
Research indicates that F1-7 may influence the activity of enzymes involved in alcohol metabolism, including alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH).
The strain may also support antioxidant defense mechanisms and help regulate processes associated with lipid accumulation, oxidative stress, and inflammatory responses in experimental models.
-
ADH activity increased by approximately 100%
-
ALDH activity increased by approximately 75%
-
Enzyme activity levels were restored toward those observed in the normal control group
-
Reduced hepatocyte steatosis and inflammatory changes were observed in the research model

Supporting Alcohol-Metabolizing Enzyme Activity
F1-7 may influence ADH and ALDH activity involved in alcohol metabolism.
Supporting Hepatic Antioxidant Capacity
The strain may contribute to antioxidant defense mechanisms under experimental alcohol-related stress.
Supporting Hepatocyte Health
Research findings showed reduced lipid accumulation and inflammatory changes in liver tissue.
F1-7 may support bone health and the maintenance of bone microarchitecture.
The gut microbiota plays an important role in the gut-bone axis. Research suggests that F1-7 may influence gut microbiota balance and inflammatory pathways associated with bone metabolism.
In experimental models, F1-7 was associated with reduced osteoclast hyperactivation and improvements in bone trabecular structure and the bone tissue microenvironment.
-
Bone mineral density (BMD) increased by approximately 31%
