Fructo-oligosaccharides and intestinal barrier function in a methionine-choline-deficient mouse model of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.
PMID: PLoS One. 2017 ;12(6):e0175406. Epub 2017 Jun 20. PMID: 28632732 Abstract Title: Fructo-oligosaccharides and intestinal barrier function in a methionine-choline-deficient mouse model of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Abstract: Impairments in intestinal barrier function, epithelial mucins, and tight junction proteins have been reported to be associated with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Prebiotic fructo-oligosaccharides restore balance in the gastrointestinal microbiome. …
Dietary intake of fructo-oligosaccharides during the development of food allergy attenuates the induction of intestinal Th2 cytokine responses.

Non-digestible oligosaccharides can suppress basophil degranulation in whole blood of peanut-allergic patients.
PMID: Front Immunol. 2018 ;9:1265. Epub 2018 Jun 11. PMID: 29942305 Abstract Title: Non-Digestible Oligosaccharides Can Suppress Basophil Degranulation in Whole Blood of Peanut-Allergic Patients. Abstract: Background: Dietary non-digestible oligosaccharides (NDOs) have a protective effect against allergic manifestations in children at risk. Dietary intervention with NDOs promotes the colonization of beneficial bacteria in the gut …
