This study aimed to investigate the effects of\n                    <jats:italic>L. plantarum<\/jats:italic>\n                    ZJUFB2 (B2) on insulin sensitivity using mice fed on a high-fat diet (HFD) as well as to explore the involved mechanisms. Purposely, male C57BL\/6 mice continuously received an intervention of B2 (~10\n                    <jats:sup>9<\/jats:sup>\n                    CFU\/day) for 16 weeks. The results showed that B2 treatment remarkably ameliorated insulin resistance and hyperglycemia in HFD-fed mice. The B2 intervention significantly decreased the hepatic lipid accumulation, serum low-density lipoproteins cholesterol, and lipopolysaccharides, and regulated the bile acids levels as well as liver mRNA expression involved in lipid metabolism. Moreover, the B2 intervention significantly changed the gut microbiota, specifically, showed a lower abundance of obesity-related and inflammation-associated microbes, e.g.,\n                    <jats:italic>Ruminococcus<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Mogibacteriaceae<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Furthermore, it exhibited a higher abundance of short-chain fatty acids and bile salt hydrolas-producing bacteria, such as\n                    <jats:italic>Bifidobacterium<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>F16<\/jats:italic>\n                    compared with the HFD group. The findings of this study suggested that B2 is a novel probiotic, effective in preventing insulin resistance by improving the gut microbiota and bile acids.\n
