Mucin-degrading gut commensals isolated from healthy faecal donor suppress intestinal epithelial inflammation and regulate tight junction barrier function

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
The intestinal epithelium surface is covered by a layer of mucus that harbors a complex and dynamic population of bacteria termed gut microbiota. In particular, some gut bacteria have the ability to degrade the mucin glycan for nutritional sources ...

Nutritional Studies on Mucin (Part 1)

Eiyo To Shokuryo, 1967
ムチンのラット成長に及ぼす影響について検討し次の如き結果を得た。1) Mucin-1を5%添加したラット群ではcontrolに対し23.5%, SM 5%添加群に対し17.2%大きい体重増加がみられ, Food efficiencyも高められた。一方粘度の低いMucin-2を添加したM-2群には体重増加作用は見られなかった。2) トレッドミルによる運動能力測定ではムチン添加群がcontrolよりも1.5～1.7倍大きな走行距離を示した。3) 臓器重量においては何ら顕著な差異は認められなかった。4) Mucin-1添加群において, 若干の血清蛋白量の増加傾向が見られたが, その他には顕著な変動は見られなかった。

Freeze-Dried Ham Promotes Azoxymethane-Induced Mucin-Depleted Foci and Aberrant Crypt Foci in Rat Colon [PDF]

, 2010
Processed and red meat consumption is associated with the risk of colorectal cancer. Meta-analyses have suggested that the risk associated with processed meat is higher. Most processed meats are cured and cooked, which leads to formation of free nitrosyl
