We aim to evaluate a nutritional intervention togetherwith the administration of the bacteria Akkermansia muciniphila and the antioxidant quercetin inan in vivo model of early obesity and NAFLD. 21-day-old rats were fed with control or high-fatdiet for six weeks. Then, all animals received control diet supplemented with/without quercetinand/or A. muciniphila for three weeks. Gut microbiota, NAFLD-related parameters, circulatingbile acids (BAs) and liver gene expression were analyzed. The colonization with A. muciniphilawas associated with less body fat, while synbiotic treatment caused a steatosis remission, linked tohepatic lipogenesis modulation. The synbiotic promoted higher abundance of Cyanobacteria andOscillospira, and lower levels of Actinobacteria, Lactococcus, Lactobacillus and Roseburia. Moreover, itfavored elevated unconjugated hydrophilic BAs plasma levels and enhanced hepatic expression ofBA synthesis and transport genes. A. muciniphila correlated with circulating BAs and liver lipid andBA metabolism genes, suggesting a role of this bacterium in BA signaling. Beneficial effects of A.muciniphila and quercetin combination are driven by gut microbiota modulation, the shift in BAs andthe gut-liver bile flow enhancement.
