Modes clinically used for lipid regulation include lifestyle intervention (therapeutic lifestyle changes), application of lipid regulating drugs, lipoprotein plasma replacement, surgical treatments such as liver transplantation, partial ileal bypass surgery, and portal vein bypass surgery, etc. Lifestyle intervention is a fundamental measure of dyslipidemia treatment, and whether or not other lipid modifying treatments are used, diet control and lifestyle improvement must be adhered to. Lifestyle interventions include weight control, physical activity, smoking cessation, alcohol restriction, etc., but compliance issues often arise depending on the patient's condition.
Lipid regulating drugs are divided into two main classes of cholesterol reducing drugs and triglyceride reducing drugs, wherein statins are the first clinical lipid regulating drugs. Statins mainly lower cholesterol and are indicated for patients with hypercholesterolemia, combined hyperlipidemia and ASCVD. Currently, lovastatin, simvastatin, pravastatin, fluvastatin, atorvastatin, rosuvastatin and pitavastatin exist clinically in China. The cholesterol-lowering range of statins varies greatly between species and doses. Statins can reduce TG levels by 7% -30% and HDL-C levels by 5% -15%. Most people have good tolerance to statins, but when statins are applied in large dose, the patients may have liver dysfunction, muscle adverse reaction (myalgia, myositis, rhabdomyolysis and the like), new onset diabetes, transient cognitive dysfunction, headache, insomnia, depression and digestive tract symptoms.
Other lipid-regulating drugs include ezetimibe, probucol, and bile acid sequestrant for lowering cholesterol; fibrates, nicotinic acids, high purity fish oil preparations for reducing triglycerides, and the like. The lipid-regulating drugs are used singly or in combination according to different conditions of patients, but have adverse reactions such as liver toxicity, digestive tract toxicity and the like.
Lipoprotein plasma replacement has proven to be an important adjunctive therapy for familial hypercholesterolemia patients, which is effective, but is expensive, time consuming and carries an infection risk. The operative treatment has great harm to patients, and has the problems of postoperative complications, requirement of lifelong administration of immunosuppressive agents and the like, so the clinical application is very few. Because of the defects of the existing treatment modes, the search for a safer and more effective treatment mode for hyperlipemia is necessary.
Probiotics are a class of living microorganisms that can colonize the human intestinal tract and improve the micro-ecological balance, which is beneficial to the health of the host. The common probiotics discovered at present comprise bifidobacteria, clostridium aceticum, lactobacillus, actinomycetes, saccharomycetes and the like, and a plurality of researches show that the probiotics play a positive role in a plurality of aspects of human body obesity, cardiovascular systems, immunity and the like. Park et al found that Lactobacillus plantarum LG42, isolated from korean traditional rice wine, significantly reduced the body weight and abdominal fat weight of high-fat diet-induced obese mice, indicating that Lactobacillus plantarum plays a certain role in the prevention and treatment of obesity. AN et al found that probiotics not only have anti-obesity effects of reducing adipose tissue deposition, reducing body weight and the like, but also have the effect of reducing plasma TC and TG. At present, the use of probiotic preparations for relieving obesity and preventing cardiovascular diseases has become a hot point of research at home and abroad.

PCA is a data dimension reduction method, namely, a plurality of variables are reduced to a group of new comprehensive variables, and then the first few principal components reflecting the original variable information as much as possible are selected from the new comprehensive variables, so that the purpose of dimension reduction is achieved. The PCA diagram reflects the real distribution of the sample, is mainly used for observing the separation trend among sample groups and whether abnormal points appear or not, and reflects the variation degree among the groups and in the groups from the original data.
The results of the experiments are shown in FIG. 5, which includes QC samples and PCA analysis of all samples. And each QC sample is homopolymerized together in the two principal component analysis diagrams, so that the instrument is stable during the detection period, and the repeatability of the acquired data is good. The results also show that the metabolites in the AM06 culture supernatant are closer to those of BAA-835, and that the metabolites in the AM02 culture supernatant are more different from those of BAA-835.
The results of comparing the amounts of the different metabolites among the strains are shown in Table 7. It can be seen that the positive ion (pos) pattern of the AM02 detected the differential metabolite and the negative ion (neg) pattern of the AM detected the differential metabolite of 205 and 135, respectively, compared to the standard strain BAA-835, and that the positive ion (pos) pattern of the AM06 detected the differential metabolite and the negative ion (neg) pattern of the AM detected the differential metabolite of 111 and 62, respectively, compared to the standard strain BAA-835.

Male mice of SPF grade Kunming species 150 mice, with body mass (20 ± 2) g, were randomly divided into 15 groups: normal control group, model group, simvastatin group (positive drug, 3.33mg/kg), and AKK AM06 viable bacteria low dose (10) 6 CFU/only), high dose (10) 10 CFU/only) group, AM02 live bacteria low dose (10) 6 CFU/only), high dose (10) 10 CFU/only), AM06 and AM02 live bacteria combination group (10) 10 CFU/only; 10 10 CFU/only), BAA-835 live bacteria (10) 10 CFU/only), low dose of the killed AKK strain AM06 (10) 6 CFU/only), high dose (10) 10 cell/cell), low dose of AM02 inactivated bacteria (10) 6 CFU/only), high dose (10) 10 cell/cell), group of inactivated bacteria AM06 and AM02 (10) 10 CFU/only; 10 10 CFU/only), BAA-835 inactivated bacteria (10) 10 cell/cell) groups of 10 cells each.
Except for the normal control group, the mice of each group were fed with high fat diet (lard 10%, yolk cholesterol, choline sui 10%, cholesterol 1%, choline sui 0.2%, basal diet 78.8%), and the normal control group was fed with basal diet, and the experiment was started after 1 week of adaptive feeding (D0). From D0, the mice of the normal control group and the model group are perfused with 0.5mL of normal saline, and the corresponding dose of the drug is perfused to each administration group once a day and continuously administered for 60 days.
The content of bile salts in the mouse feces was measured every 20 days by uv spectrophotometry. After fasting for 12h after the last administration, the orbital venous plexus was bled and the serum Total Cholesterol (TC), Triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) levels were measured using the kit.
All data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 25.0. P <0.05 was considered statistically different.

(1) Mouse serum fat related index
TABLE 8 serum fat related index (mean + -SD) for each group of mice
Note: indicates a significant difference p <0.05 compared to model group; indicates a very significant difference p < 0.01.
TC, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C are different lipids contained in blood, and they directly reflect the blood lipid content. Any one of the above-mentioned drugs is higher than the standard value, and the disease is hyperlipidemia.
As shown in the table above, compared with the normal control group, the TC, TG and LDL-C of the model group are all increased, and the HDL-C is remarkably reduced, which indicates that the molding is successful.
The serum TC, TG, LDL-C levels of the mice were down-regulated to different degrees in each administration group compared to the model group. In the AKK group, the AM06 effect is similar to AM 02.
Compared with the model group, the serum HDL-C level of the mice is up-regulated to different degrees in each administration group, wherein simvastatin has a significant difference. In the AKK group, the AM06 effect is similar to AM 02. The above results indicate that AKK is effective in regulating blood lipid levels.
(2) Bile salts of feces
TABLE 9 content of bile salts of feces of mice (mean. + -. SD) of each group
Note: indicates a significant difference p <0.05 compared to model group; indicates a very significant difference p < 0.01.
The main way of degrading the cholesterol in vivo is to discharge bile acid out of the body through a bile duct system, so the amount of the reduced cholesterol can be indirectly obtained by measuring the content of free cholate, and the effect of reducing the blood fat is further shown.
As shown in the above table, at the beginning of the experiment, there was no significant difference in fecal cholate content among the groups of mice; during the experiment, the content of the normal control group mouse fecal cholate is maintained to be stable, and the content of the model group mouse fecal cholate is reduced slightly, which shows that the cholesterol degradation capability of the hyperlipidemic mouse is reduced. The content of the fecal cholate of the simvastatin group mice is similar to that of the normal control group mice; in each group of AKK bacteria, the content of the bile acid salt in the mouse feces gradually increases along with the progress of the experiment, which shows that the AKK bacteria can enhance the cholesterol degradation capability of the mouse. In the AKK group, the AM06 effect is similar to AM 02.
In conclusion, the akkermansia muciniphila can improve the cholesterol degradation capability in a mouse, regulate the TC, TG and HDL-C, LDL-C content of serum and effectively improve the hyperlipidemia of the mouse.
