Effects of a high-prebiotic diet versus probiotic supplements versus synbiotics on adult mental health: The “Gut Feelings” randomised controlled trial

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
BackgroundPreliminary evidence supports the use of dietary interventions and gut microbiota-targeted interventions such as probiotic or prebiotic supplementation for improving mental health.

Prebiotic effects: metabolic and health benefits [PDF]

British Journal of Nutrition, 2010
The different compartments of the gastrointestinal tract are inhabited by populations of micro-organisms. By far the most important predominant populations are in the colon where a true symbiosis with the host exists that is a key for well-being and ...

Prebiotic Homochirality as a Critical Phenomenon [PDF]

Orig.Life.Evol.Biosph.36:501-505,2006, 2006
The development of prebiotic homochirality on early-Earth or another planetary platform may be viewed as a critical phenomenon. It is shown, in the context of spatio-temporal polymerization reaction networks, that environmental effects -- be them temperature surges or other external disruptions -- may destroy any net chirality previously produced.

Nitrogen Oxide Concentrations in Natural Waters on Early Earth [PDF]

, 2019
A key challenge in origins-of-life studies is estimating the abundances of species relevant to the chemical pathways proposed to have contributed to the emergence of life on early Earth. Dissolved nitrogen oxide anions (NO$_{X}^{-}$), in particular nitrate (NO$_{3}^{-}$) and nitrite (NO$_{2}^{-}$), have been invoked in diverse origins-of-life chemistry,

The first peptides: the evolutionary transition between prebiotic amino acids and early proteins [PDF]

Journal of Theoretical Biology 261 (2009) 531-539, 2009
The issues we attempt to tackle here are what the first peptides did look like when they emerged on the primitive earth, and what simple catalytic activities they fulfilled. We conjecture that the early functional peptides were short (3 to 8 amino acids long), were made of those amino acids, Gly, Ala, Val and Asp, that are abundantly produced in many ...

Prebiotic, Probiotic, and Synbiotic Supplementation in Chronic Kidney Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis [PDF]

Journal of renal nutrition, 2019
Gut dysbiosis has been implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Restoring gut microbiota with prebiotic, probiotic, and synbiotic supplementation has emerged as a potential therapeutic intervention but has not been systematically ...

A thermodynamic basis for prebiotic amino acid synthesis and the nature of the first genetic code [PDF]

, 2009
Of the twenty amino acids used in proteins, ten were formed in Miller's atmospheric discharge experiments. The two other major proposed sources of prebiotic amino acid synthesis include formation in hydrothermal vents and delivery to Earth via meteorites.

Changes of digestible starch composition and improvements of prebiotic properties in modified taro starch by heat treatment [PDF]

Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2021
This study investigated the composition of digestible starch and prebiotic properties of taro starch due to different heating treatments. The taro starch has been treated by annealing (24 hrs, 50 °C), heat moisture treatment (moisture 25%, 3 hrs, 110 ...

An open label, non-randomized study assessing a prebiotic fiber intervention in a small cohort of Parkinson’s disease participants

Nature Communications, 2023
A pro-inflammatory intestinal microbiome is characteristic of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Prebiotic fibers change the microbiome and this study sought to understand the utility of prebiotic fibers for use in PD patients.
