    摘要: Elucidating the relationship between specific intestinal bacteria, dietary intake, and the health of the host remains a primary goal for gut microbiome research. Prebiotics, substrates that are selectively used by microorganisms to promote the health of the host, present an appealing therapeutic option. We performed correlation analysis to identify relationships between health parameters and populations of gut bacteria in participants from a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial testing the effects of a prebiotic digestion resistant potato starch (DRS; MSPrebiotic®). This study focused on the abundance of Parasutterella (phylum Proteobacteria), which tended to increase in the gut microbiome of individuals consuming DRS. Increases in Parasutterella were correlated with reductions in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels in participants consuming DRS but not placebo. Segregating DRS-consuming individuals based on whether LDL levels decreased revealed that DRS-consuming individuals who displayed improved LDL levels had significantly higher baseline levels of Parasutterella. Taken together, our analyses suggest that DRS may help improve LDL levels depending on the initial ecological composition of an individual's gut microbiome.

    摘要: Method of producing a feedstuff for a dairy animal that potentiates milk production. The method includes a multi-stage process having one stage in which a feed grain for dairy animals is heat-treated for a period of time at a temperature above 90 degrees Celsius. The grain is processed for another period of time that includes disrupting the prolamin/protein bonds which produces a hydrophilic, vitreous feedstuff having a starch and protein matrix composed at least partially by prolamin. The feed grain is heat-treated for a first period of time, of which at least 200 seconds is maintained above 90 degrees Celsius, and thereafter the feed grain is processed in a second stage by applying sufficient processing to disrupt the prolamin/protein bonds and thereby producing a hydrophilic, vitreous, feedstuff comprising a starch and protein matrix composed of at least three percent prolamin.

    摘要: The invention related to organic and bioorganic combinatorial chemistry, namely, to new combinatorial libraries of polysaccharide derivatives and supramolecular structures based on them, which, when used without separation into separate components, have high biological activity.
    The essence is a combinatorial library and a supramolecular structure based on it from biologically active derivatives of polysaccharides, as well as pharmaceutical compositions based on them with a hemostatic, wound healing, antiviral and immunomodulating action, containing as an active substance an undivided whole combinatorial mixture of substituted glucopyranose polymer derivatives, obtained simultaneous combinatorial modification of a polysaccharide with at least two covalent modifier in the synthesis, a combinatorial mixture with the maximum number of combinations of modified polysaccharide derivatives is formed, and as a biologically active substance, a whole combinatorial mixture of polysaccharide derivatives in the form of a supramolecular structure without separation into individual components is used to obtain a pharmaceutical composition.
