In vitro bile-acid binding and fermentation of high, medium, and low molecular weight beta-glucan.

چکیده
The impact of beta-glucan molecular weight (MW) on in vitro bile-acid binding and in vitro fermentation with human fecal flora was evaluated. beta-Glucan extracted from oat line 'N979-5-4' was treated with lichenase (1,3-1,4-beta-D-glucanase) to yield high (6.87x10(5) g/mol), medium (3.71x10(5) g/mol), and low (1.56x10(5) g/mol) MW fractions. The low MW beta-glucan bound more bile acid than did the high MW beta-glucan (p<0.05). If the positive control, cholestyramine, was considered to bind bile acid at 100%, the relative bile-acid binding of the original oat flour and the extracted beta-glucan with high, medium, and low MW was 15, 27, 24, and 21%, respectively. Significant effects of high, medium, and low MW beta-glucans on total SCFA were observed compared to the blank without substrate (p<0.05). There were no differences in pH changes and total gas production among high, medium, and low MW beta-glucans, and lactulose. The low MW beta-glucan produced greater amounts of SCFA than the high MW after 24 h of fermentation. Among the major SCFA, more propionate was produced from all MW fractions of extracted beta-glucans than from lactulose. In vitro fermentation of extracted beta-glucan fractions with different MW lowered pH and produced SCFA, providing potential biological function.

Optimizing the molecular weight of oat β-glucan for in vitro bile acid binding and fermentation.
A previous study showed β-glucan with low molecular weight (MW, 1.56×10(5) g/mol) bound more bile acid and produced greater amounts of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) than did β-glucan with high MW (Mn=6.87×10(5) g/mol). In the current study, β-glucan extracted from oat flour was fractionated into six different MW levels (high MW, 7.09×10(5); low level 1 (L1), 3.48×10(5); L2, 2.42×10(5); L3, 1.6...
متن کاملIn vitro bile acid binding of flours from oat lines varying in percentage and molecular weight distribution of beta-glucan.
Two experimental high beta-glucan oat (Avena sativa) lines (7.64 and 8.05%) and two traditional lines (4.77 and 5.26% beta-glucan) were used to evaluate the effect of beta-glucan quantity and molecular weight on bile acid (BA) binding. The oat flour samples were digested by an in vitro system that simulated human digestion. No significant differences among oat type were found in the overall bet...
متن کاملInteractional effects of β-glucan, starch, and protein in heated oat slurries on viscosity and in vitro bile acid binding.
Three major oat components, β-glucan, starch, and protein, and their interactions were evaluated for the impact on viscosity of heated oat slurries and in vitro bile acid binding. Oat flour from the experimental oat line "N979" (7.45% β-glucan) was mixed with water and heated to make oat slurry. Heated oat slurries were treated with α-amylase, lichenase, and/or proteinase to remove starch, β-gl...

In vitro biocompatibility of low and medium molecular weight chitosan–coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles
Objective(S): The chitosan - Fe3O4 core - shell nanoparticles were synthesized. The nanoparticles should be coated properly in the shape of core-shell, so that they remain hidden from the body's immune system after coating. Effects of different molecular weight in coating were investigated. Methods: Nanoparticles coated with low and ...
