Human milk oligosaccharides as prebiotics

Pediatrics and Neonatology, 2023
Based on its richness in immune-related components such as human milk, human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), milk proteins, and lipids, breast milk can be considered the first functional food that humans encounter in their lifetime.

Human Milk Oligosaccharides as Promising Antivirals

Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, 2018
Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are diverse unconjugated carbohydrates that are highly abundant in human breast milk. These glycans are investigated in the context of exhibiting multiple functions in infant growth and development. They seem to provide

Seal milk oligosaccharides rival human milk complexity and exhibit functional dynamics during lactation [PDF]

Nature Communications
Milk oligosaccharides are crucial for neonatal development and health in mammals. Yet most milk research focuses on humans, or on domesticated mammals that are poor in milk oligosaccharide complexity.

Decoding breast milk oligosaccharides [PDF]

Swiss Medical Weekly, 2014
Oligosaccharides represent a significant fraction of breast milk, reaching up to 20 g/l in early milk. Human milk oligosaccharides comprise close to 200 structures, which are not absorbed by the intestinal tissue and have no nutritional value for ...

Immunological Effects of Human Milk Oligosaccharides [PDF]

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2018
Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) comprise a group of structurally complex, unconjugated glycans that are highly abundant in human milk. HMOs are minimally digested in the gastrointestinal tract and reach the colon intact, where they shape the ...

Microbial Production of Human Milk Oligosaccharides

Molecules, 2023
Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are complex nonnutritive sugars present in human milk. These sugars possess prebiotic, immunomodulatory, and antagonistic properties towards pathogens and therefore are important for the health and well-being of newborn

Human milk and related oligosaccharides as prebiotics

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2013
Human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) are believed to have a range of biological activities beyond providing nutrition to the infant. Principal among these is that they may act as prebiotics.

The Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Human Milk Oligosaccharides and Prebiotic Sugars from LAB Isolated from Breast Milk

Microorganisms, 2023
Breastfeeding is essential in the first months of a newborn’s life. Breast milk is a source of crucial macronutrients, prebiotic oligosaccharides, and potential probiotic strains of bacteria.

Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) and Infant Microbiota: A Scoping Review [PDF]

Foods, 2021
Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are the third most abundant solid component of breast milk. However, the newborn cannot assimilate them as nutrients.

Human milk oligosaccharides and Bifidobacterium species [PDF]

Trends in Microbiology
Several bacterial species initially colonise the infant gut, but are outcompeted. Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) in breast milk create an environment for Bifidobacterium to flourish. Laursen and Roager recently showed a clear link between breast milk
