Abstract Chitin-glucan (CG) represents a natural carbohydrate source for certain microbial inhabitants of the human gut and may act as prebiotic number bacterial taxa. However, bifidogenic activity this substrate is still unknown. In current study, we evaluated ability chitin-glucan to influence growth 100 bifidobacterial strains belonging those species commonly identified within communities residing in infant adult gut. Such analyses were coupled with transcriptome experiments directed...
The composition of the gut microbiota mammals is greatly influenced by diet. Therefore, evaluation different food ingredients that may promote changes in an attractive approach to treat disturbances. In this study, three dietary fibers, such as inulin (I, 10%), resistant starch (RS, and citrus pectin (3%), were employed supplements normal chow diet adult male rats for 2 weeks. Fecal corresponding metabolite profiles assessed before after prebiotics supplementation. A general increase...
The present study aimed to investigate sex differences in measures of cardiac chronotropy and heart rate variability (HRV) 132 young adult wild-type Groningen rats ( n = 45 females). Electrocardiographic signals were recorded for 48 h freely moving quantify (HR) inter-beat interval (IBI) as chronotropy, time- frequency-domain HRV parameters physiological readouts vagal modulation. Females showed greater vagally-mediated despite having higher HR shorter IBI than males during undisturbed...
The electrical stability of the myocardium is dependent on dynamic balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic influences heart, which reflected by heart rate variability (HRV). Reduced HRV a proposed predictor sudden death caused ventricular tachyarrhythmias in cardiac patients. However, link individual differences tachyarrhythmic risk populations without known pre-existing conditions less well explored. In this study we investigated extent to resting state predict susceptibility...
Bifidobacteria commonly constitute the most abundant group of microorganisms in healthy infant gut. Their intestinal establishment is believed to be maternally driven, and their acquisition has even been postulated occur during pregnancy. In current study, we evaluated bifidobacterial mother-to transmission events a rat model by means quantitative PCR (qPCR), as well Internally Transcribed Spacer (ITS) profiling. The occurrence strains supplied mothers pregnancy corresponding newborns was...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can have long-term cardiovascular and metabolic effects. The identification of OSA-related impairments would provide diagnostic prognostic value. Heart rate variability (HRV) as a measure cardiac autonomic regulation is promising candidate marker OSA conditions. We took advantage the Physionet Apnea-ECG database for two purposes. First, we performed time- frequency-domain analysis nocturnal HRV on each recording this to evaluate in patients with nighttime...
COLOSTRONONI is a dietary supplement consisting of bovine colostrum and Morinda citrifolia fruit (Noni). In this study, we tested the capability to influence gut microbiota composition using an in vivo evaluation rats. Furthermore, analyzed effect on systemic inflammatory responses as well permeability animals. Altogether, our analyses supported concept natural food that doesn't affect (neither negatively nor positively) homeostasis healthy conditions. Moreover, highlighted lower expression...
Abstract OBJECTIVES Indications for and timing of pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) after tetralogy Fallot repair are controversial. Among magnetic resonance imaging indices proposed to time replacement, a right ventricular (RV) end-diastolic volume index greater than 160 ml/m2 is often used. Recent evidence suggests that this value may still identify patients with irreversible RV dysfunction, thus hindering recovery. Our goal was define, using intraoperative video kinematic evaluation,...
Home monitoring supports the continuous improvement of therapy by sharing data with healthcare professionals. It is required when life-threatening events can still occur after hospital discharge such as neonatal apnea. However, multiple sources external noise could affect quality and/or increase misdetection rate. In this study, we developed a mechatronic platform for sensor characterizations and framework to manage in context The simulate movement abdomen different plausible newborn...
