Disease relevance of lactitol

 

Psychiatry related information on lactitol

  • Fourteen patients with cirrhosis and subclinical hepatic encephalopathy were randomised to treatment with lactitol or lactulose for a 2-month period during which they were monitored clinically, by electroencephalography and by manually administered and computer-based psychometric testing [4].
  • An adequate catharsis was achieved with a mean (+/- 1 SD) equivalent daily dose of 31.9 +/- 11.2 g of lactitol or 32.9 +/- 16.7 ml (21.9 +/- 11.1 g) of lactulose syrup [5].

Biological context of lactitol

 

Anatomical context of lactitol

  • One of those, the disaccharide 4-gal-actosyl-sorbitol (lactitol), is only metabolized in the large intestine, where it is converted into acidic residues [14].
  • In the jejunum of animals fed the lactitol or tributyrin+lactitol diets, the length of the villi was increased by 12% (P < 0.05) compared to animals fed the control diet, whereas the tributyrin diet did not have any effect on the villi (P > 0.05) [19].
  • These findings indicate that lactitol is not absorbed by the human small intestine [20].
  • Combination of polydextrose and lactitol affects microbial ecosystem and immune responses in rat gastrointestinal tract [21].
  • In the cecum, the depths of the crypts were reduced (P < 0.001) by 18% in animals fed the lactitol diet and 45% in animals fed the tributyrin or tributyrin+lactitol diets compared to animals fed the control diet [19].
 

Associations of lactitol with other chemical compounds

  • RESULTS: Ammonia increased significantly after the glutamine load (from 83 +/- 13 to 164 +/- 30 microg/dl at 30 min and 210 +/- 29 microg/dl at 60 min; mean +/- SE; p = 0.006 analysis of variance) but not after glutamine load after lactitol treatment (from 77 +/- 17 to 111 +/- 21 microg/dl and 142 +/- 24 microg/dl; p = not significant) [11].
  • Here we describe the determination of maltitol, isomaltitol, and lactitol, along with other common carbohydrates, in some foodstuffs such as toffees, biscuits, creams, sponge cakes, chocolates, roasted malt, and chicory leaves [22].
  • Healthy human volunteers consumed lactitol or sucrose as a fruit-flavored drink [23].
  • In the second part of the study the laxative threshold of lactitol was determined and compared with that of sorbitol in a double-blind, randomized, cross-over study on twenty-one normal subjects [20].
  • Fermentation of lactitol and xylitol was only very slight, leaving the final pH high and leading to extremely low enamel demineralization figures [24].
 

Gene context of lactitol

  • Dietary lactitol fermentation increases circulating peptide YY and glucagon-like peptide-1 in rats and humans [23].
  • We studied the effects of a fermentable sugar-alcohol (lactitol) on the concentrations of enteroglucagon and gastrin in the blood of rats for 7.5 h after feeding [25].
  • Four RCTs were eligible for analysis; in three lactitol was compared to lactulose, in one the alternative treatment was lactose in lactase-deficient patients [26].
