Examples of polysaccharide in the following topics:
-
- For example, undigested polysaccharides (fiber) are metabolized to short-chain fatty acids by bacteria in the large intestine and then absorbed by passive diffusion.
- These are produced as a result of bacterial fermentation of undigested polysaccharides.
-
- Undigested polysaccharides (fiber) are metabolized to short-chain fatty acids by bacteria in the large intestine and absorbed by passive diffusion.
- Bacterial fermentation of undigested polysaccharides produces these gases.
-
- ., polysaccharides, proteins, fats, nucleic acids) to smaller ones (i.e., monosaccharides, amino acids, fatty acids, nucleotides) .
- This breaks amylose down into mainly disaccharides, and glycogen with its 1:6 linkages into polysaccharides .
- The net result of these actions are numerous disaccharides and polysaccharides.
-
- Polysaccharides are also common sources of energy.
-
- In humans, dietary starches are composed of glucose units arranged in long chains of polysaccharide called amylose.
-
- T cells do not recognize polysaccharide or nucleic acid antigens.
- This is why polysaccharides are generally T-independent antigens and proteins are generally T-dependent antigens.
-
- Once born, a child's immune system responds favorably to protein antigens while not as well to glycoproteins and polysaccharides.
- Not until 12-24 months of age is there a marked improvement in the body's response to polysaccharides.
-
- Antigens are usually proteins or polysaccharides.
- Lipids and nucleic acids are antigenic only when combined with proteins and polysaccharides.
-
- Anabolic processes produce peptides, proteins, polysaccharides, lipids and nucleic acids.
-
- Without gut flora, the human body would be unable to utilize some of the undigested carbohydrates it consumes; some types of gut flora have enzymes that human cells lack for breaking down certain polysaccharides.
