Resistant starch (RS) acylated with propionate groups is of particular interest in terms of their
capacity to deliver specific short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) to the colon with health benefits. …

Cytokine storm and multi-organ failure are the main causes of SARS-CoV-2-related death.
However, the origin of excessive damages caused by SARS-CoV-2 remains largely unknown. …

Obesity threatens human health worldwide, and mounting findings have found that gut
microbiota (GM) changes induced by diet intervention influence its development. This study aims …

The concept of “enterotype” has been proposed to differentiate the gut microbiota between
individual humans, and different dominant bacteria utilize fiber substrates with different …

Corn bran is exceptionally rich in substituted glucuronoarabinoxylan polysaccharides, which
are monoferuloylated and cross-linked by diferulic acid moieties. Here, we assessed the …

We investigate whether β-carotene, a known natural antioxidant, can reduce oxidative stress
induced by traumatic brain injury. In addition, we investigated the underlying mechanism of …

Scope Osteoporosis poses a health challenge especially for postmenopausal women. This
study aims to explore nutritional strategies to counteract bone demineralization in …

In the present study, intact potato cells as whole potato food model were isolated through
soaking with mild acid and alkali solutions, followed by controlled hydrothermal treatment to …

The gut microbiota community of individuals is predominated by diverse fiber-utilizing
bacteria, and might have distinct fermentation outcomes for a given dietary substrate. In this …

In the present study, we prepared A‐ and B‐type polymorph‐resistant starch spherulites (RSSs)
with a wide range of crystallinity, and elucidated the relation between crystalline …
