Tuber indicum polysaccharide relieves fatigue by regulating gut microbiota in mice

Excessive exercise-induced fatigue has become a serious health issue and can cause gut dysbiosis. Tuber indicum (T. indicum) polysaccharide can act as prebiotics to regulate gut microbiota and this effect may play an important role in relieving fatigue. Therefore, T. indicum polysaccharide was prepared and mainly consisted of glucose linked with β-glycosidic bonds. Based on a mouse model of exhaustive swimming-induced fatigue, such...
