| 總結: | A low fasting blood glucose level is a common symptom in diabetes patients and can be induced by high-fat diet (HFD) feeding at an early stage, which may play important roles in the development of diabetes, but has received little attention. In this study, five polysaccharides were prepared from <i>Sargassum</i><i>fusiforme</i> and their effects on HFD-induced fasting hypoglycemia and gut microbiota dysbiosis were investigated. The results indicated that C57BL/6J male mice fed an HFD for 4 weeks developed severe hypoglycemia and four <i>Sargassum</i><i>fusiforme</i> polysaccharides (SFPs), consisting of Sf-2, Sf-3, Sf-3-1, and Sf-A, significantly prevented early fasting hypoglycemia without inducing hyperglycemia. Sf-1 and Sf-A could also significantly prevent HFD-induced weight gain. Sf-2, Sf-3, Sf-3-1, and Sf-A mainly attenuated the HFD-induced decrease in Bacteroidetes, and all five SFPs had a considerable influence on the relative abundance of <i>Oscillospira</i>, <i>Mucispirillum</i>, and <i>Clostridiales</i>. Correlation analysis revealed that the fasting blood glucose level was associated with the relative abundance of <i>Mucispinllum</i> and <i>Oscillospira</i>. Receiver operating characteristic analysis indicated that <i>Mucispinllum</i> and <i>Oscillospira</i> exhibited good discriminatory power (AUC = 0.745–0.833) in the prediction of fasting hypoglycemia. Our findings highlight the novel application of SFPs (especially Sf-A) in glucose homeostasis and the potential roles of <i>Mucispinllum</i> and <i>Oscillospira</i> in the biological activity of SFPs.
