Gut microbiota fermentation of prebiotics increases satietogenic and incretin gut peptide production with consequences for appetite sensation and glucose response after a meal

TLDR
Prebiotic supplementation was associated with an increase in plasma gut peptide concentrations (glucagon-like peptide 1 and peptide YY), which may contribute in part to changes in appetite sensation and glucose excursion responses after a meal in healthy subjects.

Prebiotic effects: metabolic and health benefits.

TL;DR: The present document has been written by a group of both academic and industry experts and aims to validate and expand the original idea of the prebiotic concept, defined as the selective stimulation of growth and/or activity of one or a limited number of microbial genus(era)/species in the gut microbiota that confer(s) health benefits to the host.

Fiber and prebiotics: mechanisms and health benefits.

TL;DR: Inulin, fructo-oligosaccharides, and other oligosACcharides are included as dietary fiber in food labels in the US as discussed by the authors, and they are the best known prebiotics, a selectively fermented ingredient that allows specific changes, both in the composition and/or activity in the gastrointestinal microflora that confers benefits upon host wellbring and health.

Short-chain Fatty Acids in Control of Body Weight and Insulin Sensitivity

TL;DR: This Review discusses the effects of three SCFA on energy homeostasis and metabolism, as well as how these SCFA can beneficially modulate adipose tissue, skeletal muscle and liver tissue function and the increasing evidence for a potential role of SCFA as metabolic targets to prevent and counteract obesity.

Metabolic endotoxemia initiates obesity and insulin resistance

TL;DR: It is concluded that the LPS/CD14 system sets the tone of insulin sensitivity and the onset of diabetes and obesity and lowering plasma LPS concentration could be a potent strategy for the control of metabolic diseases.

The biology of incretin hormones.

TL;DR: Current concepts of incretin action are summarized and the potential therapeutic utility of GLP-1 receptor agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors for the treatment of type 2 diabetes is highlighted.

Selective increases of bifidobacteria in gut microflora improve high-fat-diet-induced diabetes in mice through a mechanism associated with endotoxaemia.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the gut microbiota contribute towards the pathophysiological regulation of endotoxaemia and set the tone of inflammation for occurrence of diabetes and/or obesity.

On the presence of inulin and oligofructose as natural ingredients in the western diet.

TL;DR: Methods to determine inulin and oligofructose in natural foodstuffs are optimized and used to determine the loss of inulin during storage and during preparation of the food, which allow quantification of the amount of in insulin and olig ofructose in the average daily western diet.

The role of the gut microbiota in energy metabolism and metabolic disease.

TL;DR: Data obtained in experimental models and human subjects are in favour of the fact that changing the gut microbiota (with prebiotics and/or probiotics) may participate in the control of the development of metabolic diseases associated with obesity.
