Influence of Pre-meal Inulin Consumption on Energy Intake in Overweight and Obese Middle-aged and Older Adults: A Pilot Study
… activity of the gut microbiota. Specifically, inulin-type fructans (ITF) including inulin, oligosaccharides, and fructooligosaccharides have been generating interest in the prebiotic area in the past two decades. A lot of attention has been directed at weight management, since ITFs are known to …

The effects of prebiotics on the growth performance and gastrointestinal microflora modulation in oreochromis mossambicus in Hardap region, Namibia
… to investigate the prebiotic effect of dietary inulin and Termitomyces schimperi mushroom powder incorporated in fish feed on the growth performance and modulation of gastrointestinal microflora in Oreochromis mossambicus. Three experimental diets; inulin, inulin+ mushroom and control were made …

Effects of inulin or yeast cell wall extract on nutrient digestibility and fecal fermentative end-product concentrations of healthy adult dogs fed raw diets
… of this research was to determine the effects of inulin or yeast cell wall extract (YCW) on macronutrient digestibility, blood cell and metabolite concentrations, and fecal fermentative end-product concentrations in healthy adult dogs fed raw diets. Six adult female beagles (5.5 ± 0.5 yr; 8.5 ± …

Effects of Prebiotics on Gut Bacterial Communities and Healing of Induced Colitis in Mice
… using Dextran Sulfate Sodium (DSS), prebiotics inulin and oligofructose enriched inulin (OEI) were used as treatments to determine their effects on the gut microbial community, physiological healing process, and immune response in the mice after initial inflammation and before subsequent …

Microencapsulation of tributyrin to improve sensory qualities and intestinal delivery
… to: 1) determine the impact of protein type, inulin chain length, and gamma-cyclodextrin (GCD) on the stability and retention of microencapsulated TB, 2) measure which TB microcapsule formulation imparts the least overall sensory difference in an infant formula system, 3) determine the site of …

Development of a Novel Vaccine Adjuvant and Delivery System for Cancer and Influenza
… Our preliminary results showed that soluble inulin particles mimic pathogens to stimulate immune cells and release proliferatory cytokines. With rational modification, we designed modified inulin particles and found them to be more potent in stimulating immune system and generating both Th1 …

The Impact Of Dietary Phytase Supplementation On Skeletal Biomechanics And Characteristics In Growing Swine And Mice
… two other bone-impacting dietary supplements, inulin and strontium, were examined as well. These two additional supplements were examined with phytase because studies have suggested that they might have an additive effect and further improve bone strength and mass when supplemented with …

Effects of fructan source and degree of polymerization on intestinal barrier function and histomorphology characteristics in obese C57BL/6 mice
… fructooligosaccharides (scFOS) or 10% inulin and fed for 28 d. Distal ileum, cecum, and colon samples were collected for Ussing chamber, histomorphology, and qRT-PCR analyses. The effects of treatment were tested using the Mixed Models procedure of SAS. Among treatments, mice fed scFOS …

Microbiota-gut-immune-brain communication across the lifespan
… whether supplementation with the prebiotic FOS-Inulin could alter behavioural and physiological aspects along the gut-brain axis in stressed aged mice. We demonstrated that FOS-Inulin supplementation can ameliorate the disrupted social behavioural responses that arise following a stress …

Impact of sugar and fat reduction strategies on the sensory and quality properties of bakery products
… (pureed black beans (PBLB)) and sugar replacers (inulin and steviol glycosides) were examined in brownie formulations to determine the minimum levels of fat and sugar necessary for sensory acceptance. The smallest sugar fraction (459-972µm) permitted a higher level of fat replacement (75%) using …

Hexaflumuron Efficiency and Impact on Subterranean Termite (Reticulitermes spp.) (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) Gut Protozoa
… reduced by a factor of 57 in the presence of an inulin diet. In the choice test, termites preferred inulin over hexaflumuron. Termite mortality after hexaflumuron consumption was quantified at 5d, 15d, 20d, 25d, and 35d in three treatment groups. Mean mortality for termites fed only hexaflumuron …
