The effect of enriched chicory inulin on liver enzymes, calcium homeostasis and hematological parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Prim Care Diabetes. 2016 Aug;10(4):265-71. Farhangi MA, Javid AZ, Dehghan P. Abstract Background and AIms Type2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) as one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality is associated with immune system disturbances and metabolic abnormalities. In the current study we aimed to evaluate the effects of enrichedchicoryinulin supplementation
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 ectopicfat deposition and risk of diabetes, but is difficult to
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 calciumabsorption by inulin-typefructans (prebiotics). Results have been inconsistent; however, and no studies have been conducted to determine whether this
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 Calciumabsorption efficiency and bone mineral mass are increased in adolescents who regularly consume inulin-typefructans (ITF). The mechanism of action in increasing absorption is unknown but may be related to increased coloniccalciumabsorption. We conducted a
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, especially inulin-typefructans. Inulin-typefructans can modulate calcium absorption because they are resistant to hydrolysis by mammalian
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 substances, such as phytate, have in vitro mineral-binding
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 associated with bone loss. The purpose of the present investigation was
Severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus vaccines formulated with delta inulin adjuvants provide enhanced protection while ameliorating lung eosinophilic immunopathology.
J Virol. 2015 Mar;89(6):2995-3007. doi: 10.1128/JVI.02980-14. Epub 2014 Dec 17. Honda-Okubo Y1, Barnard D2, Ong CH1, Peng BH3, Tseng CT3, Petrovsky N4. Author information Abstract Although the severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) epidemic was controlled by nonvaccine measures, coronaviruses remain a major threat
ANTIVIRAL ACTIVITY OF DRIED EXTRACT OF STEVIA
The biological (antiviral) activity of a dried purified extract of Stevia was evaluated in vitro. Tests were performed using Teschen disease virus, infectious rhinotracheitis virus, and human coronavirus. S. A. Kedik,1 E. I. Yartsev,1 and I. E.
