It regulates the gut microbiota structure in rats; increases serum acetylcholine (Ach), 5\u2010hydroxytryptamine (5\u2010HT), substance P (SP), and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP); increases fecal long\u2010chain fatty acids (LCFAs); upregulates the mRNA expression of aquaporin 3 (AQP3) and aquaporin 3 (AQP8); and downregulates the mRNA expression of Toll\u2010like receptor 2 (TLR2), Toll\u2010like receptor 4 (TLR4), and interleukin\u20101\u03b2 (IL\u20101\u03b2).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Bifidobacterium Lactobacillus triple viable ameliorated the GITT and constipation\u2010related symptoms of patients with STC and improved the STC in rats by regulating the gut microbiota and metabolism.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jgh.16960","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,5]],"date-time":"2025-04-05T12:57:56Z","timestamp":1743857876000},"page":"1561-1573","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Bifidobacterium Lactobacillus Triple Viable Alleviates Slow Transit Constipation by Regulating Gut Microbiota and Metabolism"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Mei","family":"Luo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat\u2010Sen University  Guangzhou China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peiwei","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat\u2010Sen University  Guangzhou China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xuehong","family":"Deng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat\u2010Sen University  Guangzhou China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiahui","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat\u2010Sen University  Guangzhou China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2526-1261","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lishou","family":"Xiong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat\u2010Sen University  Guangzhou China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10620-015-3754-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","first-page":"1540","article-title":"Regulation of the Enteric Nervous System in the Colon of Patients With Slow Transit Constipation","volume":"49","author":"Tomita R.","year":"2002","journal-title":"Hepato\u2010Gastroenterology"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1152\/ajpgi.00082.2001"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.gastro.2019.12.034"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.gastro.2016.02.030"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.gastro.2016.07.044"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.dld.2005.06.008"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/5560310"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/gastro\/goab035"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","first-page":"353","article-title":"Correlation Between Slow Transit Constipation and Spleen Deficiency, and Gut Microbiota: A Pilot Study","volume":"42","author":"Zeyue Y.
