Objectives: The effects of a new resistant dextrin ingested at breakfast on day-long metabolic parameters and ghrelin profile at subsequent lunch were investigated.
Methods: In this randomized, single-blinded, crossover study, 12 healthy men ingested a standardized breakfast with 50 g of NUTRIOSE 10, a resistant dextrin (RD), or of maltodextrin (Malto) and a standardized lunch 5 hours later. Both products (RD and Malto) were derived from corn naturally rich in (13)C to follow their metabolic fate (by using stable isotope analysis). Oxidation and fermentation patterns were assessed by simultaneous (13)CO(2)/H(2) breath testing. The appearance of exogenous (13)C-glucose in plasma, glycemia, insulinemia, nonesterified fatty acids (NEFAs), and ghrelin concentrations were measured for 10 hours following breakfast ingestion.
Results: With RD, H(2) excretion (fermentation) was significantly enhanced compared with Malto, whereas the appearance of (13)CO(2) (oxidation) was significantly prolonged (p < 0.0001). Following breakfast, ghrelin secretion was significantly less inhibited and NEFA concentration was higher with RD (p < 0.05), but unexpectedly, both remained lower after lunch and up to T600 minutes. According to the reduced bioavailability of RD compared with Malto, the appearance of (13)C-glucose in plasma (p < 0.0001) and glycemic and insulinemic responses to breakfast (p < 0.05) were significantly reduced.
Conclusions: Ingestion of this new resistant dextrin at breakfast decreased ghrelin concentrations in response to the subsequent lunch, even if the caloric load ingested at breakfast was lower. This effect may be linked to the prolonged fermentation/oxidation pattern seen in the late postprandial phase (up to 10 hours after ingestion at breakfast), and thus prolonged energy release with the resistant dextrin.

Biofilm formation on biological and material surfaces represents a heavy health and economic burden for both patient and society. To contrast this phenomenon, medical devices combining antibacterial and pro-wound healing abilities are a promising strategy. In the present work, Xanthan gum/Guar gum (XG/GG)-based scaffolds were tuned with thymol and Zn to obtain wound dressings that combine antibacterial and antibiofilm properties and favour the healing process.

Background: Older people are more susceptible to deterioration of the gut microbiota. Prebiotics help improve the gut microbiota. Inulin, a major prebiotic, stimulates the growth of ; however, it produces a large amount of gas, which leads to abdominal symptoms.

Background & Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the potential ergogenic effects of intra-session supplementation of highly branched cyclic dextrin (HBCD) on mechanical (number of repetitions completed and repetition velocity), metabolic (lactate concentration), and perceptual (gastrointestinal complaints and ratings of perceived exertion [RPE]) responses to resistance training.
Methods: This study used a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled crossover study design. Thirty physically active individuals (15 men and 15 women) completed two experimental sessions that only differed in the supplement condition (placebo or HBCD).

In recent decades, epidemics and pandemics have multiplied throughout the world, with viruses generally being the primary responsible agents. Among these, influenza viruses play a key role, as they potentially cause severe respiratory distress, representing a major threat to public health. Our study aims to develop new broad-spectrum antivirals against influenza to improve the response to viral disease outbreaks.
