In vitro screening of probiotic lactic acid bacteria and prebiotic glucooligosaccharides to select effective synbiotics [PDF]

, 2010
Probiotics and prebiotics have been demonstrated to positively modulate the intestinal microflora and could promote host health. Although some studies have been performed on combinations of probiotics and prebiotics, constituting synbiotics, results on ...

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Yeast‐Based Supplement and Breast Milk Supply: A Randomised Placebo‐Controlled Trial

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
Maternal brewer's yeast supplementation did not change the milk oligosaccharide (HMO) concentration, but more mothers felt their milk supply was increased, and fewer reported formula use by 6 months postpartum compared to those taking the placebo. This suggests the supplement may support breastfeeding, warranting further investigation in larger trials.

Impacts of Lifestyle and Microbiota‐Targeted Interventions for Overweight and Obesity on the Human Gut Microbiome: A Systematic Review

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
Dietary interventions showed the strongest evidence for improving microbiome composition. Probiotics and prebiotics consistently increased beneficial bacteria. Exercise and fecal microbiota transplantation had limited evidence but showed potential for microbiome modulation.

Human milk oligosaccharides – the plot thickens [PDF]

British Journal of Nutrition, 2008
Human milk is a complex physiological fluid that provides nutrients as well as bioactive factors for the infant(1). A distinctive property of human milk among all other species is its remarkable content and structural diversity of oligosaccharides(2–4).

Neutral oligosaccharide content of preterm human milk [PDF]

British Journal of Nutrition, 1999
Human milk oligosaccharides are known to play a role in protection against certain infectious diseases. Previous reports indicate that the content of human milk oligosaccharides varies widely among individuals at term but such information on preterm milk is lacking.

Comparative Evaluation of Milk Oligosaccharides Isolated and Fractionated from Indigenous Rathi Cow Milk for Anti-Oxidant and Anti-Adhesive Properties

Proceedings
Milk, a cornerstone of neonatal nutrition and human health, harbors various components with antioxidant capabilities, including oligosaccharides. In this study, we explored the antioxidant potential of acetylated milk oligosaccharides (A-MOs) and ...

Maternal fucosyltransferase 2 status affects the gut bifidobacterial communities of breastfed infants. [PDF]

, 2015
BackgroundIndividuals with inactive alleles of the fucosyltransferase 2 gene (FUT2; termed the 'secretor' gene) are common in many populations. Some members of the genus Bifidobacterium, common infant gut commensals, are known to consume 2'-fucosylated ...

The Double‐Edged Sword of Gestational Insulin Resistance: Navigating Maternal Adaptation and Its Risks for Pregnancy and Offspring Health

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although much research focuses on the effects of hyperglycemia during pregnancy on maternal and offspring health, this narrative review specifically centers on the role of insulin resistance (IR) in pregnancy complications and offspring long‐term health.

Structure-Function Relationships of Human Milk Oligosaccharides [PDF]

Advances in Nutrition, 2012
Human milk contains more than a hundred structurally distinct oligosaccharides. In this review, we provide examples of how the structural characteristics of these human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) determine functionality. Specific α1-2-fucosylated HMO have been shown to serve as antiadhesive antimicrobials to protect the breast-fed infant against ...

Seeding and feeding milestones: the role of human milk microbes and oligosaccharides in the temporal development of infant gut microbiota

Gut Microbiome
Breastfeeding represents a strong selective factor for shaping the infant gut microbiota. Besides providing nutritional requirements for the infant, human milk is a key source of oligosaccharides, human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), and diverse microbes ...
