Non-Digestible Oligosaccharides and Constipation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Trials on Stool Frequency, Stool Consistency, and Fermentation Biomarkers Open
Background: Chronic constipation lacks effective long-term treatments. Non-digestible oligosaccharides (NDOs) are short-chain carbohydrates that resist digestion and may improve bowel function. This systematic review and meta-analysis exam…

Amino acid requirements of the infant: the amino acid composition of human breast milk Open
The recommended amino acid requirements of the infant are based on the amino acid composition of mature human breast milk. The amino acid composition of breast milk is usually determined following either acid or alkaline (for tryptophan) h…

Effect of varying dietary fatty acid patterns on early‐life food allergy in rats Open
The prevalence of food allergies is increasing worldwide, affecting approximately 8% of children. Food allergies that develop early in life can persist throughout an individual's life. Dietary patterns, particularly those involving fatty a…

Advances, challenges and future directions in the development of <i>in vitro</i> gastrointestinal models used in assessing infant formulas Open
This review critically evaluates current in vitro gastrointestinal models for assessing infant formulas from a perspective focusing on a process along digestion, absorption and microbial fermentation. Despite their potential, none of the c…

2’-Fucosyllactose modulates the function of intestinal microbiota to reduce intestinal permeability in mice colonized by feces from healthy infants Open
2’-Fucosyllactose (2’-FL) shows the potential to support intestinal health as a natural prebiotic that bridges the gap between infant formula feeding and breastfeeding. However, the effect and mechanism of 2’-FL in improving intestinal per…
View article: Short-chain fatty acids in breast milk and their relationship with the infant gut microbiota
Short-chain fatty acids in breast milk and their relationship with the infant gut microbiota Open
Introduction The short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) contained in breast milk play a key role in infant growth, affecting metabolism and enhancing intestinal immunity by regulating inflammation. Methods In order to examine the associations bet…
