520 |a Targeted and non-targeted metabolite profiling can identify biomarkers after a dietary treatment leading to a better understanding of interactions between diet and health. This study was conducted to establish enriched or depleted metabolites in the feces of overweight mice after a diet shift plus agavins or inulins supplementation, and their possible association with beneficial effects on host health. Thirty-eight male C57BL/6 mice were fed with a high-fat diet for 5 weeks followed by a diet shift to a standard diet supplemented with agavins (HF-ST + A) or inulins (HF-ST + I) for five more weeks. Feces were collected before and after prebiotic supplementation for metabolomics analyses. HF-ST + I group increased the fecal excretion of two methyl esters: linoleic and oleic acid, while HF-ST + A mice showed a substantial augment of 2-decenal, fructose, cyclohexanol, and the acids: 10-undecenoic, 3-phenyllactic, nicotinic, 5-hydroxyvaleric, and lactic. From the metabolites identified in HF-ST + A, only lactic acid has been reported previously and associated with beneficial effects on host health. However, the identification of new metabolites, coming from the microbial fermentation of agavins, opens opportunities to transform this information into practical solutions to tackle overweight and associated metabolic syndrome.
