Apr 1, 2015 – Bacterial gluttons. In the Israeli experiment, 10-week-old mice were fed a daily dose of aspartame, sucralose or saccharin. Another cluster of mice were given water laced with one of two natural sugars, glucose or sucrose. After 11 weeks, the mice receiving sugar were doing fine, whereas the mice fed …

Sep 17, 2014 – Four weeks of treatment with gut bacteria-depleting antibiotics reversed the glucose intolerance in mice that continued to receive saccharin. This led …. Not very many humans eat food without any sucrose or something related to it (like HFCS) so as far as I’m concerned it’s relevant impact on obesity is not …

The beneficial bacteria—also called probiotics—in our gut (where most of our microbes live) are responsible for a variety of health-promoting functions, like regulating … Simple sugars—like sucrose(table sugar), fructose (naturally occurring in fruits and vegetables), and glucose—are carbohydrates found naturally in some …

Jul 16, 2013 – In contrast, the fructose in an apple does not reach the liver all at once. All the fiber in the fruit—such as cellulose that only our gut bacteria can break down—considerably slows digestion. Our enzymes must first tear apart the apple’s cells to reach the sugars sequestered within. “It’s not just about the fiber in …

Nov 22, 2016 – In this study, a few weeks after researchers fed healthy mice water, or water containing sugar (either glucose or sucrose), or water containing an artificial sweetener, … Since modifying gut bacteria turned on or off glucose tolerance, they concluded that this is likely how these sweeteners have their effect.

Our gut bacteria provide us with innumerable services that scientists are only beginning to discover, including regulating our immune systems, producing hormones …. Without these enzymes doing their jobs, carbohydrates like lactose and sucrose are no longer absorbed and so they are flushed down to the lower intestines …

Jun 22, 2015 – A study at Oregon State University indicates that both a high-fat and a high-sugar diet, compared to a normal diet, cause changes in gut bacteria that … Some similarities in alterations in the microbiome were seen in both the high-fat and high-sucrose diets (e.g., increased Clostridiales), as compared to the …

Nov 10, 2013 – It has been found throughout the domain Bacteria: in extremophiles, gut flora, and environmental bacterial species and has a high percent of homology between clades (9; 10; 11; 12). Invertase is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of sucrose into glucose and fructose. The initial reaction rate and …

Nov 17, 2016 – Furthermore, the gut microbiota may be a potential link between high-fat high-sucrose(HFS) diet, systemic chronic inflammation, and musculoskeletal integrity. ….. Specifically, others have shown that high fat diet increases gut permeability, which allows bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) translocation.
