Physiology of Human GIT

Development of GIT Immunity.

PRObiotics.

PREbiotics.

My audience will STILL be AWAKE

by the end of the talk.

Goals of This Talk

The intestine is an extremely complex system that participates in protection of the host through strong defense mechanisms from the external environment;

Our Intestine = 400 square meter surface… i.e. the surface area of a tennis court

Defense task is based on three compartments that are in permanent contact and dialogue with each other:

1- The ecological barrier (normal inhabitant flora within intestine)

2- Mechanical barrier (mucous epithelia)

3- Immune barrier (GALT, secretory IgA, intraepithelial lymphocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, natural killer cells, Payer’s nodes and mesenteric lymph node) (Mohajer, 2000)

i.e. the surface area of a tennis court

Physiology

Trillions living bacteria exist in the human intestine

We have more bacteria in our bodies (10 times greater) than the total number of our somatic and germ cells We carry about 2 kg of bacteria !!!!!!!!

Over 500 species of bacteria present in human colon.

Lactobacillus Bifidis and Acidophilus comprise the majority of healthy bacteria in the colon along with other disease producing bacteria.

GIT Immunity

Our gut Microbiota can be pictured as a

MICROBIAL ORGAN

placed within a host organ

Fact ????

It starts with creating a healthy digestive system which plays a major role from infancy and throughout all our life (about 80% of our immune system is found in the GIT)

“ This immature immune system needs special measures for its

Protection and Support.”

“The intestine is not only a digestive absorptive organ but it is the

largest immune organ in our body.”

Sharing My Secrets of Health

The gastrointestinal tract of a normal fetus is sterile.

During the birth process: the aseptic or sterile, digestive tract of the fetus is inoculated with bacteria (proximity of the birth canal and the anus).

Rapidly thereafter, effective methods of ensuring transmission of microbes to the sterile GIT:o parental expression of neonatal care: suckling, kissing and

caressing (mother’s flora) o Genetic factor o surrounding environment o Feeding pattern: the first biggest challenge is one the

intestine becomes inhabited by microbes which are characterized by instability and fragility. Later the microbiota will stabilize according to the type of feeding.

Early In Life ???

The first colonization of the intestine is one of the most profound immunological exposures faced by the newborn infant (during the first days of life).

The next great changes in the composition of the intestinal microbiota come with the introduction of solid food and weaning (Favier et al., 2002).

Hygiene Hypothesis: Decreased bacterial stimulation during infancy and childhood is asscociated with slower postnatal development and delayed maturation of the immune system. (L.E.M. Niers et al., 2005)

Relatively small changes will take place by after years of age where the child will have an adult-like microbiota and then it remains practically unchanged (Zoetendal et al., 2008).

“PROBIOTICS”

gfbv

HistoryThe concept of probiotics was first introduced in the 20th century by Noble prize winner, Elie Metchnikoff(1845-1916). He suggested that long and healthy life of Bulgarian peasants resulted from their consumption of fermented milk products.He himself introduced in his diet sour milk fermented with bacteria he called “Bulgarian Bacillus, later called as Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp.” and found his health benefited.

Prof. Elie Metchnikoff.

““PROBIOTICSPROBIOTICS””

The root of the word ‘ probiotic’ comes from the Greek word pro, meaning “promoting” and biotic, meaning “life”. The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nation (FAO) defines probiotics as“ live micro-organisms, which, when administered in adequate amount produce beneficial effect to the host when taken orally”.

• They Only Transiently colonize the Gut and do not typically become part of the permanent resident micro flora of the host.

PRObiotics

(Journal of the American Dietetic Assosciatio,2008)

400+ species of Probiotics in our body.

Beneficial effects of probiotics in human:-Diarrhoea:- Probiotic have preventive and curative effects on diarrhoea.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome(IBS):- It can be prevented by the Lactobacillus plantarum 299V.

Heicobacteriosis:-Probiotic had an in vitro inhibitory effect reduce gastric inflammation.

Necrotising Enterocolitis:- Treating with B.infantis and L.acidophilus to new born result in reduction of NEC.

Urogential infection:-It can be prevented by taking L.fermentum and L.rhamnosus.

Colon cancer:-Lactic bacteria may act against colon cancer.

Blood pressure:-Milk fermented by lactic acid bacteria may result in the reduction of this sickness.

“PREBIOTICS”

The term prebiotic was introduced by Gibson and Roberfroid 1995 who exchanged “PRO" for “PRE" which means “Before“.

“Non-digestible food ingredients that beneficially affect the host by selectively stimulating the growth and/or activity of one or a limited number of bacteria in the colon that can improve host health."Gibson et al., 2004)

PREbiotics

(Journal of the American Dietetic Assosciatio,2008)

Facts about PREbiotics Prebiotics; are simply speaking the preferential

“FOOD” for Friendly Beneficial Bacteria colonizing the digestive tract.

“colonic food” They are dietary supplements that play a role in

Balancing the Intestinal Mucosal Immune System

Limited hydrolysis and absorption in the upper GIT(gastro-intestinal tract).

Selective growth stimulation of beneficial bacteria in the colon.

Immuno stimulation.

Stimulation of beneficial flora that promotes colonization resistance.

Criteria for eligibility as PREbiotic

(Gibson et al., 2007)

Established PREbioticsBreast Milk oligosaccharides Original they represent the

third largest component of Human Milk 20 - 23 gm/l in colostrum & 12- 14 gm/ in mature milk.

Polydextrose – Fructans Inulin Wheat, banana, onions, garlic, leek, chicory.

FOS (Fructo-oligosaccharides or oligofructose) plants.

GOS (Galacto-oligosaccharides) milk. Lactulose - Lactosucrose SOS (soy-oligosaccharides) XOS (xylo-oligosaccharides) IMO (isomalto-oligosaccharides) corn & wheat.

USES OF PREBIOTICUSES OF PREBIOTICImprove immune function in both the gut and body.Establish a healthier balance of bacteria in the gut.Promote regular bowel movements.Reduces the risk of an intestinal infection.Modulation of gastro-intestinal peptides production, energy metabolism and satiety.Initiation (after birth) and regulation/modulation of immune functions. Enhance bone density and increase Calcium absorption.Increase in mineral absorption and improvement of bone health.

Side effectExcessive consumption of prebiotics

particularly those in the oligosaccharides category may cause abdominal discomfort and distension, as well as significant levels of flatulence. The Nutrition Information Centre of South Africa's University of Stellenbosch, recommends that daily consumption of prebiotics be held below 20 grams.

What are the health benefits of prebiotics in What are the health benefits of prebiotics in infant Formula ? infant Formula ? Researches Review

Nine studies are cited in the literature, investigating the effect of different types of prebiotic OS supplementation in infants.

These studies showed that depending on the age of the infant, and the prebiotic OS used,

1- effects may be seen on immune cells,in particular IgE levels. 2- Results on the prevention and management of diarrhoea and

constipation are varying with four out of six studies showing positive results.

3- The role of prebiotics in reducing respiratory tract infections, fever and use of antibiotics also looks promising with less infections reduced use of antibiotics and reduced episodes of fever seen in infants supplemented with prebiotic OS than those who did not receive any supplementation.
