Prebiotics: the concept revisited.
A prebiotic is "a selectively fermented ingredient that allows specific changes, both in the composition and/or activity in the gastrointestinal microflora that confers benefits upon host well-being and health."

متن کاملProbiotics, Prebiotics and Synbiotics - In Health Improvement by Modulating Gut Microbiota: The Concept Revisited
The microbiota of the human gastrointestinal tract plays a key role in efficient nutrient absorption and thus maintaining human health. Through the process of fermentation, gut bacteria metabolize various nutritional substrates to end products such as organic acids, vitamins, short-chain fatty acids etc. Therefore, an optimum balance is required between the intestinal microflora and its host.

This is the method favoured typically by philosophers of biology and biologists who are concerned with history, and ...
متن کاملCore Concept: Prebiotics gain prominence but remain poorly defined.
With the gut microbiome increasingly recognized as a major player in shaping human biology, probiotic treatments—introducing a few billion purportedly beneficial micro-organisms into human gut communities composed of trillions of microbes—are under intense investigation. Study designs and results have been a mixed bag, and the impact of probiotics remains unclear. Enter the probiotics’ conceptu...
