Milk-delivered postbiotics from Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BB-12 modulate the gut microbiota-SCFA-immune axis in rats compared to probiotic delivery.

Despite growing interest in postbiotics as stable alternatives to probiotics, their efficacy when delivered through food matrices and their integrated effects on the gut microbiota-metabolite-immune axis remain poorly understood. This study investigated whether postbiotic-enriched milk derived from Bifidobacterium anim...

Mushroom β-Glucan as a Novel Prebiotic: Enhancing Recovery of the Post-Antibiotic Gut Microbiota over 60 Days

Findings support ColonX as a promising nutraceutical strategy to promote gut microbiota restoration following antibiotic exposure by linking prolonged mushroom β-glucan administration with both taxonomic modulation and functional metabolic recovery markers in a post-antibiotic dysbiosis model.

In vivo absorption in mice and fecal fermentation by human gut microbiota: impacts on gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acids production.

BACKGROUND Current understanding of the biological activities and metabolism of raffinose remains limited. This study aimed to elucidate its digestive behavior and anti-allergic potential by integrating fluorescence imaging in mice, in vitro digestion simulation, human fecal fermentation, and RBL-2H3 cells detection....

Microbiota-dependent biotransformation of apiin drives butyrate-associated protection against colitis.

Dietary glycosides represent an important class of microbiota-responsive food components with potential benefits for intestinal health, yet their biotransformation and functional mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, we investigated the protective effects of apiin (apigenin-7-O-apiosylglucoside), a naturally...
