The effects of transgalactosylated oligosaccharides on gut flora metabolism in rats associated with a human faecal microflora
Abstract
The effect on various caecal bacteria and their metabolic activities of feeding diet containing transgalactosylated oligosaccharides (TOS) with or without Bifidobacterium breve (administered in the drinking water) was investigated in rats colonized with a human faecal microflora. TOS (5% w/w in diet) or TOS plus B. breve, given for 4 weeks, induced increases in caecal concentration of total anaerobic bacteria, lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, and decreases in numbers of enterobacteria. Caecal pH was significantly reduced by feeding TOS, as were the activities of β‐glucuronidase and nitrate reductase. In contrast, β‐glucosidase activity was increased in TOS‐fed rats. Dietary TOS was also associated with decreased conversion, by caecal contents, of the dietary carcinogen 2‐amino‐3‐methyl‐3H‐imidazo[4, 5‐ f ] quinoline (IQ) to its genotoxic 7‐hydroxy derivative.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
