Abstract: Objective:To study the effects of fructooligosaccharide (FOS) on i nt estinal flora,serum triglyceride (Tg) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Methods: T he mice were fed FOS (0.1g/kg and 1g/kg• bw•d respectively) for 14d. The feac al flora,Tg and BUN were assayed respectively. Results: In 1/kg group,the co u nts of Bifidobacterum and Enterobacteriaceae and the BUN were increased than t he control group. In 0.1g/kg group,the BUN and Tg were increased (p< 0.05),t he counts of Bacteroides were decreased,than the control group. Conclusion: Th e FO S of 1 g/kg•bw•d×14d can increase the counts of intestinal Bifidobacteri um an d Enterobacteriaceae,and can decrease serium Tg. The FOS of 0.1 g/kg and 1 g/kg •bw•d×14d can increase BUN.
