The aim of this study was to first test the impact of treatment with glutamine (Gln), a food supplement containing natural curcumin extracts and polyunsaturated n-3 fatty acids (Cur); bioactive peptides from a fish protein hydrolysate (Ga); and a probiotic mixture containing Bacillus coagulans, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus gasseri and Lactobacillus helveticus. These compounds were tested alone on a stress-based IBS model, the chronic-restraint stress model (CRS). The combination of Gln, Cur and Ga (GCG) was also tested. Eight-week-old C57Bl\/6 male mice were exposed to restraint stress for two hours every day for four days and received different compounds every day one week before and during the CRS procedure. Plasma corticosterone levels were measured as a marker of stress, and colonic permeability was evaluated ex vivo in Ussing chambers. Changes in the gene expression of tight junction proteins (occludin, claudin-1 and ZO 1) and inflammatory cytokines (IL1\u03b2, TNF\u03b1, CXCL1 and IL10) were assessed using RT-qPCR. The CRS model led to an increase in plasma corticosterone and an increase in colonic permeability compared with unstressed animals. No change in plasma corticosterone concentrations was observed in response to CRS with the different treatments (Gln, Cur, Ga or GCG). Stressed animals treated with Gln, Cur and Ga alone and in combination showed a decrease in colonic permeability when compared to the CRS group, while the probiotic mixture resulted in an opposite response. The Ga treatment induced an increase in the expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, and the GCG treatment was able to decrease the expression of CXCL1, suggesting the synergistic effect of the combined mixture. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that a combined administration of glutamine, a food supplement containing curcumin and polyunsaturated n-3 fatty acids, and bioactive peptides from a fish hydrolysate was able to reduce colonic hyperpermeability and reduce the inflammatory marker CXCL1 in a stress-based model of IBS and could be of interest to patients suffering from IBS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms24087220","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,14]],"date-time":"2023-04-14T02:28:12Z","timestamp":1681439292000},"page":"7220","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Effects of Glutamine, Curcumin and Fish Bioactive Peptides Alone or in Combination on Intestinal Permeability in a Chronic-Restraint Stress Model"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Ludovic D.","family":"Langlois","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Univ Rouen Normandie, Inserm, ADEN UMR1073 \u201cNutrition, Inflammation and Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis\u201d, F-76000 Rouen, France"},{"name":"Laboratoire DIELEN, F-50110 Tourlaville, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2888-8430","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah","family":"Oddoux","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire DIELEN, F-50110 Tourlaville, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kanhia","family":"Aubl\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Univ Rouen Normandie, Inserm, ADEN UMR1073 \u201cNutrition, Inflammation and Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis\u201d, F-76000 Rouen, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Violette","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire DIELEN, F-50110 Tourlaville, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5224-6166","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pierre","family":"D\u00e9chelotte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Univ Rouen Normandie, Inserm, ADEN UMR1073 \u201cNutrition, Inflammation and Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis\u201d, F-76000 Rouen, France"},{"name":"Nutrition Department, CHU Rouen, F-76000 Rouen, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antoine","family":"No\u00ebl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire DIELEN, F-50110 Tourlaville, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7469-2682","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mo\u00efse","family":"Co\u00ebffier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Univ Rouen Normandie, Inserm, ADEN UMR1073 \u201cNutrition, Inflammation and Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis\u201d, F-76000 Rouen, France"},{"name":"Nutrition Department, CHU Rouen, F-76000 Rouen, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"71","article-title":"The Epidemiology of Irritable Bowel Syndrome","volume":"6","author":"Canavan","year":"2014","journal-title":"Clin.
