    Abstract : Up to 100 million people travel annually from industrialized countries to resource-limited ones. Each traveller contains an internal ecosystem composed of tens of trillions of microbes, known as the intestinal microbiota, which has a large effect on health. READ MORE

  5. 3. Faecal short-chain fatty acids as an indicator of the status of intestinal microbial ecology

    Author : Urmas Siigur; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Intestinal microflora; SCFAs; Faecal water; Breast-feeding; Metronidazole; Lactose malabsorption; Bacterial diarrhoea; Olestra;

    Abstract : The aims of this study were to investigate how faecal concentrations of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) reflect intestinal microbial ecology. Faecal SCFAs and water content were determined in 93 healthy volunteers to establish the normal values in man and the correlations between various SCFAs and between SCFAs and faecal water. READ MORE

  6. 4. Intestinal functions in animals : an experimental study on horses, pigs, cows and fish

    Author : Eje Collinder; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Animals and humans live in symbiosis with an active gastrointestinal ecosystem. The balance of the system is maintained by the main actors, the macroorganism, the microflora and the environment, in concert. READ MORE

  7. 5. Influence of probiotics and other external factors on intestinal biochemical microflora-associated characteristics : studies in vitro and in vivo in gnotobiotic mice and in pigs

    Author : Maria E Cardona G; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Gastrointestinal microflora germ-free mice; lactic acid bacteria; microflora- associated characteristics; piglets; probiotics.;

    Abstract : The benefit of harboring a balanced intestinal microflora is well recognized. Therefore, in order to 'maintain or improve the intestinal flora, the use of microbial species as feed supplements, i.e. probiotics, has rapidly increased. READ MORE
