Prebiotic Organic Microstructures [PDF]

Nature Precedings, 2011
Micro- and sub-micrometer spheres, tubules and fiber-filament soft structures have been synthesized in our experiments conducted with 3 MeV proton irradiations of a mixture of simple inorganic constituents, CO, N2 and H2O.

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 ...

Tapping the rhizosphere metabolites for the prebiotic control of soil-borne bacterial wilt disease

Nature Communications, 2023
Prebiotics are compounds that selectively stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial microorganisms. The use of prebiotics is a well-established strategy for managing human gut health.

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.

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
Background Preliminary evidence supports the use of dietary interventions and gut microbiota-targeted interventions such as probiotic or prebiotic supplementation for improving mental health.

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 ...

A prebiotic basis for ATP as the universal energy currency

PLoS Biology, 2022
ATP is universally conserved as the principal energy currency in cells, driving metabolism through phosphorylation and condensation reactions. Such deep conservation suggests that ATP arose at an early stage of biochemical evolution. Yet purine synthesis

Emerging prospects of macro- and microalgae as prebiotic

Microbial Cell Factories, 2021
Macro- and microalgae-based foods are becoming popular due to their high nutritious value. The algal biomass is enriched with polysaccharides, protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids, carotenoids, vitamins and minerals.

PREBIOTICS AND PROBIOTICS [PDF]

Journal of Probiotics & Health, 2009
Intestinal flora encompasses at least 500 different types of bacteria living in symbiosis with their host. The dominant microflora in the stomach is Gram-positive bacteria; while in the distal small intestine and the colon is Gram-negative type. The most important intestinal bacteria are bacteroides, bifidobacteria, Enterobacteraceae, lactobacilli ...
