Astragalus Polysaccharide Improved DSS‐Induced Colitis in Mice By Remodeling the Gut Microbiota

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
Astragalus polysaccharides (AP) alleviate DSS‐induced colitis by reshaping gut microbiota, enhancing SCFA production, restoring metabolic pathways, and rebalancing inflammatory cytokines. Microbiota‐depletion experiments confirm that AP therapeutic effect is microbiota‐dependent, highlighting AP as a promising microbiome‐modulating strategy for ...
