Studies in the Area of Food Allergies Reported from China Agricultural University [Oat B-(1-> 3, 1-> 4)-d-glucan D-glucan Alleviates Food Allergy-induced Colonic Injury In Mice By Increasing Lachnospiraceae Abundance and Butyrate Production].

A study conducted at China Agricultural University explored the effects of oat beta-(1 -> 3, 1 -> 4)-D-glucan (OBG) on food allergy-induced colonic injury in mice. The research found that OBG supplementation increased the abundance of Lachnospiraceae and butyrate production, leading to improved colonic inflammation and epithelial barrier function. These findings suggest that low molecular weight OBG may have potential health benefits in alleviating food allergy-induced colonic damage by modulating gut microbiota. [Extracted from the article]
