Inulin-type fructan improves diabetic phenotype and gut microbiota profiles in rats [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background & Aims Accumulating research has addressed the linkage between the changes to gut microbiota structure and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Inulin is one type of soluble dietary fiber that can alleviate T2D.

Characterization of Chemical Properties of Inulin Isolated from Yacón Tuber
Jurnal Teknologi dan Industri Pangan, 2022 Inulin is a polysaccharide with linear fructan chain structure. Food industries widely use inulin as a low calorie sugar substitutions. Yacón (Smallanthus sonchifolius) tuber that are easily grown and contain higher inulin can be explored as local inulin

Immunomodulatory effects of inulin and its intestinal metabolites
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 “Dietary fiber” (DF) refers to a type of carbohydrate that cannot be digested fully. DF is not an essential nutrient, but it plays an important part in enhancing digestive capacity and maintaining intestinal health.

Inulin diet uncovers complex diet-microbiota-immune cell interactions remodeling the gut epithelium
Microbiome, 2023 Background The continuous proliferation of intestinal stem cells followed by their tightly regulated differentiation to epithelial cells is essential for the maintenance of the gut epithelial barrier and its functions.

The Prebiotic Potential of Inulin-Type Fructans: A Systematic Review
Advances in Nutrition, 2021 Inulin-type fructans (ITF), including short-chain fructooligosaccharides (scFOS), oligofructose, and inulin, are commonly used fibers that are widely regarded as prebiotic for their ability to be selectively utilized by the intestinal microbiota to ...
