Journal Title: TMR Integrative Medicine - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 21
Abstract
Background: To confirm that the four constitutions of the Korean medicine is closely related to the intestinal flora, and explore the influence of specific intestinal microbes on these four populations. Methods: We collect stool samples of four different physiques of the Taeeum, Soeum, Taeyang, and Shaoyang. Based on 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing, SPSS 18.0 statistical software and GraphPad Prism 8.0 mapping software, the body weight, body mass index, cholesterol and intestinal microcommunity composition of the four groups were analyzed and compared. Results: The results found that the body weight and body mass index of the Taeeum group were significantly higher than the Shaoyang group and the Soeum group, the body weight, cholesterol and body mass index of the Taeyang group were significantly higher than the Soeum Group. In the analysis of gut microbiota, the richness and diversity of intestinal microorganisms and the abundance ratio of posterior firmicutes to bacteroides were all different in the four populations, and there were 24 gut microbiota with significant differences (P < 0.05). Among them, the abundance of [Eubacterium] coprostanoligenes group of Taeyang people, Taeeum people, Shaoyang people, and Soeum people were 3.71, 9.62, 9.36 and 9.33, respectively. Conclusion: [Eubacterium] coprostanoligenes group may be related to the differences in cholesterol content of the four populations. Similarly, the firmicutes/bacteroidetes abundance ratio may also be related to the differences in body weight, blood glucose and blood lipid among the four groups.
