  2. 11. 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

  4. 12. Polyphenols in Swedish berries and pulses : Characterization and in vivo effects of fractions from lingonberries and brown beans in an Apoe-/- mouse model

    Author : Jiyun Liu; Cornelia Witthöft; Anne-Maria Pajari; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; lingonberry; brown bean; flavonoids; phenolic acids; dietary fiber; HPLC-UV MS; atherosclerotic plaque; plasma lipid; gut microbiota; short-chain fatty acids; trimethylamine N-oxide; Apoe- - mice; lingon; bruna bönor; flavonoider; fenolsyror; kostfiber; HPLCUV MS; aterosklerotisk plaketter; plasmalipid; tarm-mikrobiota; kortkedjiga fettsyror; trimetylamin N-oxid; Apoe- - möss; Livsmedelsvetenskap; Food Science;

    Abstract : Consumption of berries and pulses can protect against atherosclerosis and other metabolic diseases, by modulating plasma lipid profile, gut microbiota, and microbiota-dependent metabolites. These nutritional benefits are often attributed to high content of polyphenols (flavonoids and phenolic acids) and dietary fiber. READ MORE

  5. 13. Effects of Dietary Fibre and Probiotics on Hindgut Fermentation in Healthy Rats and in Rats with Dextran Sulphate Sodium-Induced Colitis and Colon Cancer

    Author : Camilla Bränning; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; carboxylic acids; probiotics; short-chain fatty acids; hindgut fermentation; Colonic health; prebiotics; microbiota; dietary fibre;

    Abstract : The importance of colonic fermentation has been realised during recent years as it has been found to be associated with colonic health and thus the overall health of the individual. The fermentation of dietary fibre and the addition of probiotics can have positive effects on the luminal environment and the colonic microbiota. READ MORE

  6. 14. Bioactive Carbohydrates in Vining Peas (Pisum sativum) - Variation in alpha-galactoside content and the colonic fermentation of sugar alcohols

    Author : Jimmy Ekvall; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; alpha-galactosides; raffinose family oligosaccharides; Näringslära; Nutrition; short-chain fatty acids; colonic fermentation; myo-inositol; sorbitol; xylitol; sugar alcohols; blanching; maturity; cultivar; Pisum sativum;

    Abstract : The composition of the colonic microflora is essential for the health of the human host. To be able to survive, the microflora is dependent of a continuous supply of substrate. In this respect dietary fibre and other indigestible carbohydrates, of which the consumption in affluent societies is generally low, are of great importance. READ MORE

  7. 15. Nutritional effects of barley products — Mechanisms of action in the intestinal tract

    Author : Yadong Zhong; Kemicentrum Centrum för preventiv livsmedelsforskning; []
    Keywords : dietary fibre; malting; probiotics; high-fat diets; short-chain fatty acids; gut microbiota; low-grade inflammation; gene expression; Barley;

    Abstract : Barley is one of the most important crops in the world. Although it is mainly used as the raw material for the production of beer and animal feed, it has recently attracted interest from nutritionists and consumers, due to its high content of dietary fibre, especially β-glucan, and its relation to various positive health effects.
