- Prebiotic effects: metabolic and health benefits (2010, background): “In some articles, it has been suggested that the reasons for the discrepancies in the Min mouse studies are due to major differences in the basal diet fed: high-fat, high glucose diet in the Mutanen studies and high-starch diet in the studies of Pierre et al.((78,244)).”
- Metabolic adaptation to a high-fat diet is associated with a change in the gut microbiota (2011, background): “INTRODUCTION The increasing fat-to-fibre ratio in the Western diet is now considered among the major triggering factors of metabolic impairments such as obesity and type II diabetes.(1) 2 Using axenic mice, a key advancement has been made during the last decade when the gut microbiota was first asso”
- The contribution of wheat to human diet and health (2015, background): “Cereals contain graminantype (branched) fructans with both β(2→1) and β(2→6) linkages (Ritsema and Smeekens 2003; Roberfroid 2005).”
- Inulin: Properties, health benefits and food applications. (2016, background): “The basic characteristics of dietary fiber are: impervious to hydrolysis by the gastric secretions and absorption in the small intestine while fermentable by the microflora of large intestine (Roberfroid, 2007; Turner & Lupton, 2011; Wong, 2006).”
- Health benefits of dietary fiber. (2009, background): “105 Inulin and oligofructoses are not digested by pancreatic or brush border enzymes; thus, they enter the colon virtually intact.”
- Co- encapsulation of Lactobacillus acidophilus with inulin or polydextrose in solid lipid microparticles provides protection and improves stability (2013, background): “…and the presence of prebiotics, ingredients that are selectively fermentable, exert a beneficial effect on the growth and/ or activity of bacteria in the colon (Gibson, Probert, Van Loo, Rastall, & Roberfroid, 2004; McCartney & Gibson, 2006; Roberfroid, 2007; Wells, Saulnier, & Gibson, 2008).”
- Colonic Health: Fermentation and Short Chain Fatty Acids (2006, background): “Butyrate is the preferred fuel of the colonic epithelial cells but also plays a major role in regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation.(1,8,12,97) It is the most important SCFA in colonocyte metabolism, where 70% to 90% of butyrate is metabolized by the colonocyte.”
