先ず、前記GAM培地(ただし、グルコース不添加)に、下記の表1に示す各炭水化物のいずれかを終濃度が0.5%となるように添加して、各評価培地をそれぞれ調製した。また、比較例として、炭水化物に代えて蒸留水(DW)を添加した評価培地も調製した。次いで、試験例1と同じ#1~3のヒト糞便1mgを、前記評価培地1mLにそれぞれ添加し、37℃、嫌気グローブボックス内において12時間培養した。培養後、培養液中のNMN濃度を試験例1に記載の方法で液体クロマトグラフ質量分析計(LC-MS/MS)により測定した。#1~3のヒト糞便をそれぞれ培養したときのNMN濃度の平均値を図2に示す。また、前記平均値についてさらに、各炭水化物分類ごとの平均値(ただしグルコース及びスクロースを除く)を算出した結果を下記の表2に示す。
試験例2で優れたNMN産生向上効果が確認された炭水化物のうち、フラクトオリゴ糖(FOS、1-ケストース、ニストース、及び1-フラクトフラノシル-D-ニストースの混合物、明治フードマテリア株式会社製、製品名:メイオリゴP)を用いて、マウス腸管内(大腸内)におけるNMN産生向上効果を評価した。先ず、7週齢の雄ICRマウス(日本エスエルシー株式会社製)を8個体ずつ2群に分け、一方の群には5% FOS水溶液を自由摂取させてFOS群とし、他方の群には水を自由摂取させてControl群とし、それぞれ10日間飼育した。飼育期間経過後、3時間絶食させた後に盲腸内容物を採取し、その重量を測定した。また、採種した盲腸内容物をマイクロチューブに20mg秤量し、メタノールを終濃度80v/v%となるように混合して30分間氷上に静置した。次いで、これを遠心分離して得られた上清を別のマイクロチューブに移した後、ペレットに80v/v%メタノールを添加して混合し、再度遠心分離して得た上清を先に別のマイクロチューブに移したものと混合した。次いで、この混合した上清を遠心エバポレーターで乾固し、得られた乾固物を酢酸アンモニウム溶液で溶解し、0.22μmフィルターでろ過した後、ろ液中のNMN濃度を試験例1に記載の方法で液体クロマトグラフ質量分析計(LC-MS/MS)により測定し、当該盲腸内容物中のNMN濃度を算出した。さらに、測定されたNMN濃度に盲腸内容物重量を乗じた量(total(μg))を算出し、totalの各群における平均値を算出した。結果を図3に示す。
ケストース(明治フードマテリア株式会社製)を用いて、無菌マウスにヒト腸内細菌叢を移植したヒトフローラマウスの腸管内(大腸内)におけるNMN産生向上効果を評価した。先ず、8週齢の雄無菌マウス(C57BL/6N、日本クレア株式会社製、3個体)にヒト糞便を経口投与し、3週間馴化させた後(Day 0)に採糞した。この間、水を自由摂取させた。採糞後、飲水を水から5%ケストース水溶液に交換して自由摂取させ、14日間飼育した。ケストース投与開始から1、3、9、14日後(Day 1、3、9、14)に採糞した。また、各採糞日(Day)に採糞した糞便はそれぞれマイクロチューブに20mg秤量し、メタノールを終濃度80v/v%となるように混合して30分間氷上に静置した。次いで、これを遠心分離して得られた上清を別のマイクロチューブに移した後、ペレットに80v/v%メタノールを添加して混合し、再度遠心分離して得た上清を先に別のマイクロチューブに移したものと混合した。次いで、この混合した上清を遠心エバポレーターで乾固し、得られた乾固物を酢酸アンモニウム溶液で溶解し、0.22μmフィルターでろ過した後、ろ液中のNMN濃度を試験例1に記載の方法で液体クロマトグラフ質量分析計(LC-MS/MS)により測定し、当該糞便中のNMN濃度(ng/mL)を算出した。各採糞日におけるNMN濃度の3個体の平均値を図4に示す。
