Oligosaccharides from human milk influence growth-related characteristics of intestinally transformed and non-transformed intestinal cells
10 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
Human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) are considered to influence the composition of the gut microflora in breastfed infants. We investigated direct effects of milk HMO fractions or individual oligosaccharides on proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis in transformed human intestinal cells (HT-29 and Caco-2) and non-transformed small intestinal epithelial crypt cells of fetal origin (human intestinal epithelial...
