Inclusion of Fructooligosaccharide and Resistant Maltodextrin in High Fat Diets Promotes Simultaneous Improvements on Body Fat Reduction and Fecal Parameters.

This study investigated the effects of incorporating a mixture of fructooligosaccharide (FOS) and resistant maltodextrin (RMD) at a ratio of 1:2 on body fat accumulation and fecal bacterial parameters in rats. Our results indicated that high dietary fat consumption might effectively ( < 0.05) increase body fat, but consequently inducing a significantly ( < 0.

DNAzyme tunable lead(II) gating based on ion-track etched conical nanochannels.

A simple biomimetic ionic gate has been developed by modifying lead(II) ion responsive DNAzymes onto the inner surface of ion-etched polymer nanochannels.
