Effects of oligofructose-enriched inulin on intestinal absorption of calcium and magnesium and bone turnover markers in postmenopausal women
Br J Nutr. 2007 Feb;97(2):365-72. Holloway L, Moynihan S, Abrams SA, Kent K, Hsu AR, Friedlander AL. Abstract Deficiency of oestrogen at menopause decreases intestinal Ca absorption, contributing to a negative Ca balance and bone loss. Mg deficiency has also been...
Effects of Dietary Fibers on Magnesium Absorption in Animals and Humans
J Nutr. 2003 Jan;133(1):1-4. Coudray C, Demigné C, Rayssiguier Y. Abstract There is overwhelming evidence that dietary fibers are an important component of human and animal diets and play an important role in human health. Because dietary fibers and some associated...
Current data with inulin-type fructans and calcium, targeting bone health in adults
J Nutr. 2007 Nov;137(11 Suppl):2527S-2533S. Coxam V. Abstract In humans, there is increasing evidence that the colon can absorb nutritionally significant amounts of calcium, and this process may be susceptible to dietary manipulation by fermentable substrates,...
An inulin-type fructan enhances calcium absorption primarily via an effect on colonic absorption in humans
J Nutr. 2007 Oct;137(10):2208-12. Abrams SA, Hawthorne KM, Aliu O, Hicks PD, Chen Z, Griffin IJ. Abstract Calcium absorption efficiency and bone mineral mass are increased in adolescents who regularly consume inulin-type fructans (ITF). The mechanism of action in...
A combination of prebiotic short- and long-chain inulin-type fructans enhances calcium absorption and bone mineralization in young adolescents
Am J Clin Nutr. 2005 Aug;82(2):471-6. Abrams SA, Griffin IJ, Hawthorne KM, Liang L, Gunn SK, Darlington G, Ellis KJ. Abstract Background Short-term studies in adolescents have generally shown an enhancement of calcium absorption by inulin-type fructans (prebiotics)....
A randomized controlled trial: the effect of inulin on weight management and ectopic fat in subjects with prediabetes
Nutr Metab (Lond). 2015 Oct 24;12:36. Guess ND, Dornhorst A, Oliver N, Bell JD, Thomas EL, Frost GS. Abstract Background Fat infiltration of the liver, muscle and pancreas is associated with insulin resistance and risk of diabetes. Weight loss reduces ectopic fat...

Prim Care Diabetes. 2016 Aug;10(4):265-71. Farhangi MA, Javid AZ, Dehghan P. Abstract Background and AIms Type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) as one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality is associated with immune system disturbances and metabolic abnormalities....
Oligofructose-enriched inulin improves some inflammatory markers and metabolic endotoxemia in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Nutrition. 2014 Apr;30(4):418-23. Dehghan P, Pourghassem Gargari B, Asghari Jafar-abadi M. Abstract Objectives Anti-inflammatory therapeutic approaches are considered for the management of type 2 diabetes and for the prevention of its complications. There is limited...
Inulin Increases Short-Term Markers for Colonic Fermentation Similarly in Healthy and Hyperinsulinemic Humans
Eur J Clin Nutr. 2011 December ; 65(12): 1279–1286. Fernandes J, Vogt J, Wolever TMS. Abstract Background/Objectives Colonic fermentation of dietary fibre produces short-chain fattyacids (SCFA) acetate, propionate and butyrate, which may protect against type 2...
The fermentable fibre inulin increases postprandial serum short-chain fatty acids and reduces free-fatty acids and ghrelin in healthy subjects
Appl Physiol Nutr Metab. 2010 Feb;35(1):9-16. Tarini J, Wolever TM. Abstract It is thought that diets high in dietary fibre are associated with reduced risk for type 2 diabetes, at least in part because the short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) produced during the colonic...
