BACKGROUND: Functional constipation is a common gastrointestinal disorder that impairs quality of life. Although probiotics have shown benefits in constipation, whether live and heat-killed forms of the same strain act through similar mechanisms remains unclear. This study compared the effects of live and heat-killed Lacticaseibacillus paracasei K56 in experimental constipation.
METHODS: Loperamide-treated mice received live or heat-killed L. paracasei K56. Gastrointestinal motility, colonic histology, neurotransmitters, aquaporin expression, gut microbiota, short-chain fatty acids, and metabolomic profiles were evaluated.
RESULTS: Both preparations relieved constipation, as reflected by shorter defecation latency, increased fecal output and moisture, and faster intestinal transit, with live K56 producing greater improvement. Colonic injury was alleviated, accompanied by reduced Aqp2 and Aqp3 expression and normalization of 5-hydroxytryptamine, substance P, and vasoactive intestinal peptide. The treatments increased Lactobacillus and Lachnospiraceae, promoted butyrate production, and altered tryptophan metabolism. Heat-killed K56 was mainly associated with changes in phenylalanine/tyrosine- and methionine-related metabolism, whereas live K56 showed more pronounced alterations in arginine/polyamine, tryptophan, and bile acid metabolism.
CONCLUSIONS: Live and heat-killed L. paracasei K56 improved constipation through shared and distinct mechanisms involving gut microbiota, microbial metabolism, enteric neurotransmission, and intestinal water homeostasis. Live K56 produced stronger effects, whereas heat-killed K56 retained substantial biological activity.
