Impact of inulin and oligofructose on gastrointestinal peptides.
In the present paper, we summarise the data supporting the following hypothesis: dietary inulin-type fructans extracted from chicory root may modulate the production of peptides, such as incretins, by endocrine cells present in the intestinal mucosa, this phenomenon being involved in the regulation of food intake and/or systemic effects. To test this hypothesis, male Wistar rats received for 3 ...
متن کاملInulin and oligofructose: impact on intestinal diseases and disorders.
A large and diverse variety of bacteria have evolved and adapted to live in the human intestinal habitat in a symbiotic arrangement that influences both physiology and pathology in the host. Symbiosis between host and flora can be optimised by prebiotics. Inulin-type fructans have been shown to improve the metabolic functions of the commensal flora. Clinical and experimental data suggest that t...
متن کاملInulin/oligofructose and anticancer therapy.
The results of our investigations indicate that dietary treatment with inulin or oligofructose incorporated in the basal diet for experimental animals: (i) reduced the incidence of mammary tumors induced in Sprague-Dawley rats by methylnitrosourea; (ii) inhibited the growth of transplantable malignant tumors in mice; and (iii) decreased the incidence of lung metastases of a malignant tumor impl...
متن کاملNutritional and Health Benefits of Inulin and Oligofructose Inulin and Oligofructose: What Are They?
Inulin is a term applied to a heterogeneous blend of fructose polymers found widely distributed in nature as plant storage carbohydrates. Oligofructose is a subgroup of inulin, consisting of polymers with a degree of polymerization (DP) #10. Inulin and oligofructose are not digested in the upper gastrointestinal tract; therefore, they have a reduced caloric value. They stimulate the growth of i...
متن کاملNutritional and Health Benefits of Inulin and Oligofructose Fiber, Inulin and Oligofructose: Similarities and Differences
The biological, chemical and physical properties of dietary fibers are associated with physiologic actions in the small and large intestine that have important metabolic implications for health. These properties of fiber include dispersibility in water, bulk, viscosity, adsorption and binding of compounds and fermentability. Dietary fructans share some of the properties of dietary fiber and thu...
