This study aimed to compare the effects of different hydrolysates (named GKOS and MKOS)
on constipated rats, which were obtained by degradation from konjac glucomannan by β …

Dietary fiber targets the regulation of the intestinal flora and thus affects host health,
however, the complex relationship between these factors lacks direct evidence. In this study …

The occurrence of constipation involves the whole gastrointestinal tract. Konjac
glucomannan (KGM) has been clinically proven to alleviate constipation, but its mechanism …

OBJECTIVE: Konjac glucomannan (KGM) has been shown to relieve constipation, which
could be associated with increased stool bulk and improved colonic ecology. METHODS …

Objective Konjac oligo-glucomannan (KOG) is a non-digestible dietary fiber that is resistant
to digestion and absorption in gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Thus, it might be used as an …

The hypoglycemic effects of konjac glucomannans (KGMs) are well recognized, and our
previous study showed KGMs with different molecular weight have different hypoglycemic …

OBJECTIVE: The prebiotic role of intact konjac glucomannan (KGM) is contradictory. Short-
chain glucomannan may cause a greater or faster effect on colonic microflora compared with …

Konjac glucomannan (KGM) with a molecular weight (MW) of 823.4 kDa was partially
degraded by endo-1, 4-β-mannanase. Two hydrolyzed KGM fractions (KGM-M-1: 147.2 kDa …

Objectives: This diet-controlled study was designed to examine effects of konjac
glucomannan (KGM) supplement on the bowel habits and colonic ecology in 7 constipated …

Purpose–The aim of this study is to determine the effects of depolymerised mannans and
specifically konjac glucomannan hydrolysates (GMH) on the colonic microflora of mice …
