Arabinoxylan Overview

Arabinoxylan Arabinoxylan is a type of dietary fiber present in the cell walls of cereal grains such as wheat, corn, rice, rye, oat, and barley. It has a structure comprising a xylose backbone with arabinose side chains and can be extracted from byproducts of wheat-flour processing. In natural medicine, arabinoxylan has been utilized to address conditions like diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, and metabolic syndrome. However, the evidence supporting its effectiveness in these areas is currently insufficient. Mechanistically, arabinoxylan functions as a prebiotic, fostering the growth of bifidobacteria in the gut. It may also reduce colonic protein fermentation while boosting the production of short-chain fatty acids. Arabinoxylan in clinical research has demonstrated hypoglycemic effects by lowering postprandial glucose levels and hypolipidemic effects by reducing serum triglycerides.

Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir Ritonavir Overview

  • The combination of ombitasvir, paritaprevir, and ritonavir is usually used in combination with ribavirin (Copegus, Rebetol), but sometimes it is used alone to treat a certain type of chronic (long-term) hepatitis C infection (swelling of the liver caused by a virus). Ombitasvir is a hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5A inhibitor. It works by stopping the virus that causes hepatitis C from spreading inside the body. Paritaprevir is a protease inhibitor. It works by decreasing the amount of HCV in the body. Ritonavir is a protease inhibitor. It helps to increase the amount of paritaprevir in the body so that the medication will have a greater effect. It is not known if ombitasvir, paritaprevir, or ritonavir prevent the spread of hepatitis C to other people.
