Expert consensus document: The International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) consensus statement on the definition and scope of prebiotics
Glenn R. Gibson,Robert W. Hutkins,Mary Ellen Sanders,Susan L. Prescott,Raylene A. Reimer,Seppo Salminen,Karen P. Scott,Catherine Stanton,Kelly S. Swanson,Patrice D. Cani,Kristin Verbeke,Gregor Reid +11 more
TL;DR: The goal of this Consensus Statement is to engender appropriate use of the term 'prebiotic' by relevant stakeholders so that consistency and clarity can be achieved in research reports, product marketing and regulatory oversight of the category.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of allergen-specific T-cell memory in atopic and normal children
TL;DR: The continuation of fetal allergen-specific Th2 responses during infancy is a defining feature of the inductive phase of atopic disease, and is associated with decreased capacity for production of the Th1 cytokine interferon y by atopic neonates.
Journal Article
Transplacental Priming of the Human Immune System to Environmental Allergens: Universal Skewing of Initial T Cell Responses Toward the Th2 Cytokine Profile
Susan L. Prescott,Claudia Macaubas,Barbara J. Holt,T.B. Smallacombe,Richard Loh,Peter D. Sly,Patrick G. Holt +6 more
TL;DR: These findings imply that the key etiologic factor in atopic disease may not be the initial acquisition of allergen-specific Th2-skewed immunity per se, but instead may be the efficiency of immune deviation mechanisms, which in normal (nonatopic) individuals redirect these fetal immune responses toward the Th1 cytokine phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of maternal obesity on the long-term health of offspring.
Keith M. Godfrey,Rebecca M. Reynolds,Susan L. Prescott,Moffat J. Nyirenda,Moffat J. Nyirenda,Vincent W. V. Jaddoe,Johan G. Eriksson,Birit F.P. Broekman,Birit F.P. Broekman,Birit F.P. Broekman +9 more
TL;DR: There is an urgent need for studies on causality, underlying mechanisms, and effective interventions to reverse the epidemic of obesity in women of childbearing age and to mitigate consequences for offspring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fish oil supplementation in pregnancy modifies neonatal allergen-specific immune responses and clinical outcomes in infants at high risk of atopy: A randomized, controlled trial
Janet Dunstan,Trevor A. Mori,Anne Barden,Lawrence J. Beilin,A.L. Taylor,Patrick G. Holt,Susan L. Prescott +6 more
TL;DR: These data suggest a potential reduction in subsequent infant allergy after maternal PUFA supplementation, and more detailed follow-up studies are required to establish the robustness of these findings and to ascertain their significance in relation to longer-term modification of allergic disease in children.
