Birth by Caesarean (C)-section impacts early gut microbiota colonization and is associated with an increased risk of developing immune metabolic disorders. Moreover, alterations the microbiome have been shown to affect neurodevelopmental trajectories. However, long-term effects C-section on neurobehavioral processes remain unknown. Here, we demonstrated that birth results in marked but transient changes composition mouse, particular, abundance Bifidobacterium spp. was depleted life. Mice...
The effect of three Hebridean brown seaweeds on lipase activity was assessed using a turbidimetric assay and an in vitro simulation the upper digestive tract. preparations Ascophyllum nodosum, Fucus vesiculosus, Pelvetia canaliculata were tested; whole seaweed homogenate, sodium carbonate extract, ethanol extracts (pellet supernatant tested separately). All showed significant inhibition lipase, suggesting multiple bioactive agents, potentially including alginates, fucoidans, polyphenols....
Brown seaweeds are known to be a rich source of fiber with the presence several non-digestible polysaccharides including laminarin, fucoidan and alginate. These individual have previously been shown favorably alter gut microbiota composition activity albeit effect collective brown seaweed component on remains determined. This study investigated crude polysaccharide-rich extract obtained from Laminaria digitata (CE) depolymerized CE (DE) metabolism using an in vitro fecal batch culture model...
Gut microbiota play a role in certain pain states. Hence, these also influence somatic pain. We aimed to determine if there was an association between gut (composition and diversity) postoperative Patients (n = 20) undergoing surgical fixation of distal radius fracture under axillary brachial plexus block were studied. diversity abundance analysed for with: (i) verbal rating scale < 4/10 throughout the first 24 h after surgery (ii) level deemed "acceptable" by patient during following (iii)...
Two seaweeds; Ascophyllum nodosum and Fucus vesiculosus, were incorporated into bread at 0.5 2% their effect on blood glucose in vivo carbohydrate digestion vitro studied. In the five way randomised placebo controlled double blind pilot trial (n = 10) each volunteer consumed 100 g of available (from bread) was measured over two hours. The breads tested a human model compared against control with equivalent amount seaweed. study enriched did not cause any significant reductions iAUC average...
Abstract Prebiotics are considered beneficial to health owing positive effects upon the gut microbiota (GM). These on GM include stimulating growth of species and increasing short chain fatty acid (SCFA) production (1). Accumulating evidence suggests that putative benefits associated with seaweed consumption may be, in part, their GM(2). The red Palmaria palmata is a source xylan, β(1–3) β(1–4) D-xylose polysaccharide. Given xylo-oligosaccharides recently accepted prebiotic (3), aim this...

Abstract Evidence from observational studies indicates that seaweed consumption may reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type two diabetes, and obesity. Accumulating evidence in vitro animal suggest have antihyperlipidemic, anti-inflammatory antioxidant properties which part be attributed to high content soluble dietary fibre seaweeds. The viscosity fibres is suggested mediate antihyperlipdiemic effects via alteration lipid/bile acid absorption...
