Classification and Function of Lactic Acid Probiotics
Probiotics are a type of beneficial bacteria in the gut, and are now mostly used for gut conditioning and health care. However, people now know less about probiotics, and it is difficult for many people to distinguish whether probiotics are good or bad, and they do not know anything about probiotics. However, there are more than 400 types of probiotics in the human body, and the types of ...

8 Health Benefits of Taking Probiotics
Probiotics refer to a certain number of live microorganisms that can have a beneficial effect on the health of the host. At present, there are more than 20 kinds of probiotics used in China, mainly including Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Clostridium butyricum, Saccharomyces boulardii, Enterococcus, Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus cereus. Probiotics have eight major functions. 1. Maintain ...

Applications of Diamine Oxidase
Diamine oxidase (DAO) is an intracellular enzyme that catalyzes diamine in mucosal or ciliated epithelial cells of the mammalian small intestine. It protects the intestinal mucosa by regulating intracellular ion homeostasis, influencing conduction pathways, and promoting cellular repair. Serum DAO is elevated in small intestinal mucosal barrier failure or in intestinal mucosal cell necrosis; ...

Akkermansia muciniphila - Preclinical studies
A large body of evidence suggests that Akkermansia muciniphila may help protect against specific metabolic disorders and cardiometabolic risk factors associated with a low-grade inflammatory status. Indeed, preclinical studies performed in diet-induced obese mice revealed very interesting beneficial effects linked to the daily oral administration of Akkermansia muciniphila. Giving the ...

Compound Active Probiotics Are Widely Used in the Field of Health
Probiotics are a class of active microorganisms that are beneficial to the host. They are the general term for active beneficial microorganisms that colonize the human intestine and reproductive system and can produce definite health effects to improve the host's micro-ecological balance and play a beneficial role. The beneficial bacteria or fungi in humans and animals mainly include: Clostridium ...

The Power Of RepliGut in Vitro Intestinal Stem Cell Models
Both current in vitro and in vivo models used in the development of candidate therapies for the treatment of intestinal diseases have severe limitations. RepliGut®, an in vitro human intestinal epithelial stem cell model, addresses many of these issues and has significant potential to reduce the time and cost of drug development. This model may even help to identify optimal therapies for ...

Sources and Functions of Short-Chain Fatty Acids
When we talk about intestinal bacteria or dietary fiber, we often hear about "short-chain fatty acids". So what exactly are short-chain fatty acids? Based on the number of carbon atoms in the carbon chain, fatty acids with less than 6 carbon atoms are commonly referred to as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), those with 6 to 12 carbon atoms are called medium-chain fatty acids, and those with 12 or ...

Dissolved Hydrogen Application
Hydrogen molecule is the smallest molecule in nature. It is extremely penetrating and extremely volatile. It can freely enter and exit the body cells, remove aging and toxic free radicals. After drinking, it enters human body tissues and diffuses to act on all organ line particles and nucleus. Absorbed by the body. Realize the balance of the environment in the body and initiate the mechanism of ...

The Role of Probiotics in Cancer Prevention Receives Increasing Attention
Liver cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the world and the third leading cause of cancer deaths. A healthy diet and lifestyle are the key to preventing various diseases. In recent years, probiotics, as part of a healthy diet, have received increasing attention for their role in cancer prevention and treatment, including liver cancer. Do probiotics have the potential to prevent liver ...

Metabolomics in Gut Microbiota Research
With rapid development in sequencing technology, researchers can better assess the effect of the gut microbiome on human health. Human beings have a symbiotic relationship with the microbiota since birth. The environment, proximity to other humans and animals, diet, genetics, and time changes can all affect the microbial composition of our skin, mouth, and intestines. Compared with other ...

Increasing the Efficiency of Drug Development with Preclinical Testing Using Human Intestinal Stem Cells
Due to a lack of robust in vivo gut models, animal studies are generally required to evaluate gut toxicity. However, these studies can be lengthy and expensive and may not accurately recapitulate the behavior of the human gastrointestinal tract. Drugs are thus often developed with undesired gut side effects that are not apparent until clinical trials. Organ-on-a-chip models are the closest ...

Organoid Models of SARS-CoV-2 Infection learned from COVID-19
The clinical presentation of COVID-19-related illness ranges from asymptomatic to mild respiratory symptoms resembling influenza infection to acute symptoms including pneumonia requiring hospitalization and admission to the intensive care unit. COVID-19 starts in the upper airways and lungs, but in severe cases can also affect the heart, blood vessels, brain, liver, kidneys, and intestines. ...

The Relationship Between the Gut Microbiome and Drugs Is Greater Than We Thought
Gut microbes are considered "virtual organs" that influence host health and are involved in disease research. The human gut microbiota has a large gene pool, encoding approximately 100-150 times more genes than the human genome, and contains a rich resource of enzymes with the ability to metabolize drugs. The diversity of gut bacteria also affects the mental health of the host. Microbiomes from ...

Detailed Introduction to the Four Effects of Probiotics
Probiotics, in simple terms, are a group of microorganisms that can effectively promote human health. They can resist gastric acid and bile acid, and can attach and colonize in the intestinal tract. According to statistics, the human gastrointestinal tract contains a rich and diverse microbial community, gathering more than 100 trillion microorganisms. These microbiomes encode more than 3 million ...

The Effect of Probiotics for the Gut Health
There are trillions of microbes inhabiting the human intestine. These microbes gradually reach a balance of types and numbers during the process of reproduction, and this balance is closely related to the body's normal metabolism. Once the structure of the intestinal flora becomes imbalanced, various metabolic diseases will follow. The probiotics multiply in large quantities in the intestine, ...

Developing a Robust in Vitro Intestinal Model for Preclinical Candidate Screening of GI Toxicity
Gastrointestinal (GI) issues are common side effects of many drugs. Anticipating such side effects before clinical trials is limited by a lack of effective models for evaluating preclinical candidates for their potential to cause diarrhea, nausea, and other gut-related side effects. With its RepliGut® in vitro human intestinal model, Altis Biosystems is developing a system that could help ...
