- Research on soluble dietary fibers (SDFs), particularly pectin from yellow passion fruit (YPF-peSDF), suggests potential protective properties against ulcers and colitis due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
- In an experiment with mice, YPF-peSDF was shown to aggravate outcomes in polymicrobial sepsis, resulting in 100% mortality within 24 hours and various negative effects on gut structure and inflammation.
- The study found that while YPF-peSDF preserved some intestinal features, it increased muscle layer atrophy and altered inflammatory responses, contradicting previous beliefs about its benefits in sepsis treatment.*
