topicInulin Gut Health Randomized Trial
claimOral lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory disease of the oral mucosa characterised by immune dysregulation, but its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood and no curative treatment has been established.

claimThese observations provide a general rationale for testing whether co-administration of 1-kestose and long-chain inulin can influence colonic substrate availability and tolerability; the available experimental evidence is discussed in.

claimPrevious work showed that bacterial GH32 amino acid sequences can be grouped by phylogenetic analysis into clusters associated with distinct fructooligosaccharide-degrading profiles [].applies this framework to compare GH32 enzymes relevant to the utilization of 1-kestose and other fructans.
