BACKGROUND We have shown recently that rapid fermentable fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) decreased resistance of rats towards salmonella. It is not known whether inulin (which is fermented more gradually) has similar effects or whether buffering nutrients can counteract the adverse effects of rapid fermentation. AIMS To compare the effects of dietary inulin and FOS on resistance of rats to Salm...

1. The reliability of [3H]inulin as a reference substance for the measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in river lampreys was investigated. 2. Simultaneously measured renal clearances of [3H]inulin and [14C]-polyethylene glycol (PEG) were not significantly different. 3. Recoveries of [3H]inulin in the urine following its injection into the proximal tubule and urinary duct averaged 83....

OBJECTIVE Since the conventional drip-infusion method for measuring inulin clearance (Cin) has problems related to its accuracy and performance, we explored a more accurate and concise method by rapid intravenous injection of a newly developed inulin fraction (Inulead(®)), in which spot urine sampling was omitted and the administration period of inulin was shortened from 120 to 5 minutes. PAT...

Background: We have shown recently that rapid fermentable fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) decreased resistance of rats towards salmonella. It is not known whether inulin (which is fermented more gradually) has similar effects or whether buffering nutrients can counteract the adverse effects of rapid fermentation. Aims: To compare the effects of dietary inulin and FOS on resistance of rats to Salm...

The high fructan contents in underground organs of Cerrado species, high water solubility, and fast metabolism of these compounds highlight their role as carbon storage and as an adaptive feature in plants under drought. In this study, we showed that anatomical structure, in association with soluble compounds and metabolism of inulin-type fructans were modified in rhizophores of Crysolaena obov...

The quality properties of biscuits with partial replacement sugar by inulin (at 0, 10, 20 and 30%) wheat flour barley 20, 30 40%) were studied. A commercial a jet milled finer used. For all substitutions, elevated amounts led to increased weight decreased spread ratio the biscuits. Inulin biscuits, within same composition, softer than those no but inulin’s concentration was not statistically im...

Prebiotics are indigestible dietary supplements. Their function is to increase the growth andactivity of beneficial organisms (probiotics) while inhibiting and activity potentiallyharmful bacteria. The present study evaluated effectiveness inulin in enhancing growthof Lactobacillus sp. shows antimicrobial against Streptococcus mutans a dental cariescausing microorganism. Growth pattern was obse...

an in vivo experiment was conducted to study the effects of probiotic bacillus coagulans spores, with and without prebiotic, inulin, on gastrointestinal (gi) microbiota of healthy rats and its potentiality to survive in the gi tract. forty-eight male wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups (n=12) and fed as follows: standard diet (control), standard diet supplied with 5% w/w long cha...
