A recent research study conducted by the Sahlgrenska Academy at University of Gothenburg in Gothenburg, Sweden, in collaboration with DuPont Nutrition & Health (DuPont), yielded results demonstrating that probiotic intervention can alter and modify intestinal microbiota in patients with colon cancer. The study was based on this principle: the human gut microbiota contributes to metabolism, […]
Lactobacillus, a probiotic bacteria found in liveculture yogurt and sauerkraut, could reverse depressive symptoms, according to a new mouse study that researchers think could hold true in humans. The research used a combination of behavioral, molecular and computational techniques to test the role of the microbiota in depressive and ‘despair’ behaviors after noting that the […]
The potential health benefits of resistant starch (RS) could lead it to being classified as a prebiotic under the EU’s health claim process, according to a review. RS has been noted to increase the production of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the gut, and to modulate the composition of gut microbiota, the review in […]
El pulque tiene moléculas de inulinas (fructanas o polímeros de fructosa sintetizados a partir de sacarosa) del agave y de las bacterias que lo fermentan. Gracias a la biología molecular fue posible conocer la diversidad de la microbiota en el organismo, en especial de las bacterias que viven en el tracto digestivo y que dependen […]
Un estudio liderado por el director del grupo CIBER-OBN, Miguel Ángel Martínez-González, ha confirmado que el consumo de yogurt entero (rico en grasa) está vinculado con un menor riesgo de padecer depresión en las mujeres. La investigación, dirigida por el profesor y catedrático de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Navarra, ha analizado […]
