Background: Probiotic bacteria have a beneficial effect on intestinal inflammation. In this
study, we have examined the effect of lactic acid and commensal Gram positive (+) bacteria …

Current prebiotics, such as fructo‐oligosaccharides (FOS), are limited in their persistence in
the distal colon and are predominantly fermented in the proximal colon. In order to identify a …

Background—The nature of the breakdown products produced in enterocytes during
epithelial transport of intact proteins may be critical in determining the functional …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Probiotics are live microorganisms which when administered in
adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host. In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) …

Non‐live probiotic bacteria and their fermentation products can be used in milk‐based
formula intended for healthy infants. The effects of a milk formula fermented with …

Background: The respective effect of milk and fermented milks on intestinal barrier capacity
and on sensitization to β-lactoglobulin was studied using a guinea pig model of cow's milk …

To study the influence of Helicobacter pylori on epithelial barrier function, bacteria, bacterial
sonicates, or broth culture supernatants were incubated for 24 h with HT29-19A intestinal …

Seaweed extract of Ascophyllum nodosum, ID‐alG™, was evaluated for its chronic effects
on weight management in high‐fat‐fed Sprague‐Dawley rats. ID‐alG™ was orally …

Lactic bacteria have been shown to reinforce the intestinal barrier function by stimulating
secretory IgAs and may alter cow's milk proteins (CMP) in fermented milks, possibly acting …

The main function of Major Histocompatibility Complex class II (MHC II) molecules is to
present antigenic peptides produced in antigen presenting cells to T lymphocytes. During …
