Phytostanols and phytosterols are naturally present in plant-based foods, especially in vegetable oils, spreads and margarines, breads, cereals, vegetables and fruits [26]. The mean daily intake of naturally occurring phytosterols in a Western diet is about 300 mg, but the amount of phytostanol...
to reduce radiation-induced diarrhea [168]. Additionally, individuals takingLactobacillus rhamnosussupplements exhibited reduced radiation-induced digestive damage, improved fecal consistency, and decreased bowel movements [169]. In mice, prior administration ofLactobacillusspp. probiotics to the small intestine...
or lipoteichoic acid might be released into the medium and interact with TLR-2, as LGG-CM also exhibited radioprotective properties. This finding marked the first instance where TLR-2 was implicated in mediating a probiotic-based biological impact. Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory effects of VSL#...
Many cholesterol-lowering compounds are naturally present in the human food supply. Each of these compounds can be isolated, purified, and subsequently used as additives in food products and dietary supplements designed specifically for reducing plasma LDL cholesterol concentration. Thisrnchapter focuses ...
Introduction β-glucan, a viscous soluble dietary fibre found naturally in oats and barley, has several potentially beneficial physiological effects including reducing postprandial glycaemic responses (PPGR) [1,2] and serum cholesterol [3,4,5]. In 2010, the ability of β-glucan to reduce PPGR ...
Discussion The presented technology reduced cecal SE carriage in one of the two trials, taking advantage of the remarkable character of MccJ25, a naturally occurring AMP. AMPs are ancient host defense effector peptides, produced by organisms across all biological domains as part of the innate ...

(partially purified RNA, essentially pure RNA, synthetic RNA, recombinantly produced RNA), as well as altered RNA that differs from naturally occurring RNA by the addition, deletion, substitution and/or alteration of one or more nucleotides. Such alterations can include addition of non-nucleotide ...
We recently reported that oral delivery of tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), a naturally occurring bile salt proven to reduce ER stress both in vitro and in vivo, dramatically decreases the clinical, histological and biochemical signs of inflammation in four different IBD mouse models through reducing...
