Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of consumption of a ready-to-eat breakfast cereal containing inulin on the intestinal milieu and blood lipids in healthy male volunteers
TL;DR: Inulin seems to have a lipid lowering potential in normolipidemic men possibly mediated by mechanisms related to colonic fermentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbiota in anorexia nervosa: The triangle between bacterial species, metabolites and psychological tests.
Francesca Borgo,Alessandra Riva,A. Benetti,Maria Cristina Casiraghi,Sara Bertelli,Stefania Garbossa,Simona Anselmetti,Silvio Scarone,Antonio E. Pontiroli,Giulia Morace,Elisa Borghi +10 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that the gut dysbiosis could take part in the AN neurobiology, in particular in sustaining the persistence of alterations that eventually result in relapses after renourishment and psychological therapy, is corroborated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gastric emptying of a solid meal is accelerated by the removal of dietary fibre naturally present in food.
Luigi Benini,G. Castellani,Furio Brighenti,K W Heaton,M T Brentegani,Maria Cristina Casiraghi,C. Sembenini,Nicoletta Pellegrini,A. Fioretta,G Minniti +9 more
TL;DR: F fibre naturally present in food delays gastric emptying of a solid meal, reduces the glycaemic response, and delays the return of hunger.
Journal Article
Effect of neutralized and native vinegar on blood glucose and acetate responses to a mixed meal in healthy subjects.
Furio Brighenti,Greta Castellani,Luigi Benini,Maria Cristina Casiraghi,E. Leopardi,R. Crovetti,Giulio Testolin +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that oral acetic acid and acetate might have a different effect on acetataemia and that a limited dose of vinegar, in the form of salad dressing, is sufficient to influence significantly the glycaemic response to a mixed meal in normal subjects by a mechanism related to acidity but not to gastric emptying.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of lactic acid bacteria isolated from wheat bran sourdough
Federica Manini,Maria Cristina Casiraghi,Kaisa Poutanen,Kaisa Poutanen,Milena Brasca,Daniela Erba,Carme Plumed-Ferrer +6 more
TL;DR: The predominant microbial species previously isolated from a sourdough-like spontaneous fermented wheat bran showed interesting technological application potential due to their antifungal activity and exopolysaccharide production, and P. pentosaceus seems to be a candidate for use as probiotic.
