Compound fruit drink (CFD) is a functional drink prepared with fruit, Chinese herbs and prebiotic fructooligosaccharide as the main ingredients. Loperamide hydrochloride was used to establish a mouse model of constipation. And the effect of CFD on the improvement of constipation and the impact on gut microbiota were studied. The results showed that CFD significantly enhanced intestinal motility in constipated mice (P < 0.05). It significantly improved serum levels of gastrointestinal regulatory-related peptides, elevated the short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) content and alleviated colonic injury. Meanwhile, CFD also up-regulated the mRNA expression levels of AQP3, AQP9, SCF and c-Kit and the related protein expression levels. Fecal microbial results showed that the CFD medium-dose group significantly increased species richness. Furthermore, CFD increased the abundance of potentially beneficial bacteria and reduced the number of potentially pathogenic bacteria. This study indicated that CFD was a promising functional drink for effectively relieving constipation.
