Shared Reference Notes

  • [1.1] 
  • [1.2] 
    - The dietary fiber pectin is shown to prevent this intestinal inflammation through direct inhibition of TLR2 in a microbiota-independent manner. - Inhibition of TLR2 is determined by the number and distribution of methyl-esters of pectins. - The degree of methyl-esterification (DM) and the degree of blockiness (DB) of pectins determine attenuating efficacy on doxorubicin-induced #Intestinal mucositis.
  • [1.3] [#Citrobacter rodentium] 
    - Pectins > anti-inflammatory properties on intestinal immunity > direct interactions on Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in the small intestine or via stimulating microbiota-dependent effects in the large intestine. - Pectins> prevent C. rodentium induced colonic inflammation > lowering the C. rodentium load in the caecum independently of the DB.
  • [1.4] [#High fibre diet] 
    - Dietary fibre is comprised of both soluble and insoluble carbohydrates and includes pectin, cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose, #Arabinoxylan, nondigestible oligosaccharide #Inulin, #Oligofructose and #Resistant Starch.
  • - #Apple pectin was three times more effective in promoting #Bacteroides growth and overall microflora diversity than #Inulin
  • [#Clostridiales XIV] - pectin, which make up 35% of fruit fibre cell wall, increases #Butyrate-producing species such as Clostridium cluster XIV
  • [1.5] 
    - Some oligosaccharides are originated from a #Polysaccharide known as pectin > pectic oligosaccharide (POS)
