Human Milk Oligosaccharides as Promising Antivirals

Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, 2018
AbstractHuman 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 protection against infectious diseases, including a number of poorly manageable viral ...

Tailoring Human Milk Oligosaccharides to Prevent Necrotising Enterocolitis Among Preterm Infants

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2021
Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating disease affecting preterm infants, with little improvement in mortality rates and treatment strategies in the last 30 years.

Goat Milk Oligosaccharides: Their Diversity, Quantity, and Functional Properties in Comparison to Human Milk Oligosaccharides [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2020
Human milk is considered the golden standard in infant nutrition. Free oligosaccharides in human milk provide important health benefits. These oligosaccharides function as prebiotics, immune modulators, and pathogen inhibitors and were found to improve barrier function in the gut.

Functional properties, structural studies and chemoenzymatic synthesis of oligosaccharides [PDF]

Oligosaccharides offer beneficial effects on immune system and gut health, such as anticancer activity, immunomodulatory activity, and complement activation. Functional oligosaccharides are widely found in plants, algae, bacteria and higher fungi.

Unusual free trisaccharides in caprine colostrum discovered by logically derived sequence tandem mass spectrometry

Scientific Reports
Free oligosaccharides in human milk have many biological functions for infant health. The reducing end of most human milk oligosaccharides is lactose, and caprine milk was reported to contain oligosaccharides structurally similar to those present in ...

Effects of Holder Pasteurization on Human Milk Oligosaccharides [PDF]

International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology, 2008
The benefits of human milk have been confirmed for preterm infants, due to its nutritional aspects and to its biologically active compounds. Oligosaccharides play an emerging leading role among these compounds. Mother's milk can sometimes be lacking for preterm infants; pasteurized donor milk represents therefore an important alternative.

Evolution of milk oligosaccharides and lactose: a hypothesis

Animal, 2012
Mammalian milk or colostrum contains up to 10% of carbohydrate, of which free lactose usually constitutes more than 80%. Lactose is synthesized within lactating mammary glands from uridine diphosphate galactose (UDP-Gal) and glucose by a ...

Role of milk carbohydrates in intestinal health of nursery pigs: a review

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2022
Intestinal health is essential for the resistance to enteric diseases and for nutrient digestion and absorption to support growth. The intestine of nursery pigs are immature and vulnerable to external challenges, which cause negative impacts on the ...

Historical Aspects of Human Milk Oligosaccharides [PDF]

Advances in Nutrition, 2012
This review focuses on important observations regarding infant health around 1900 when breastfeeding was not considered a matter of importance. The discovery of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria and their relevance for health and disease was an important milestone leading to a decrease in infant mortality in the first year of life.
