| |
| − | We built Glyco2D based on the mathematical model described by Meléndez-Hevia E et al (1) This model described the structural properties of glycogen based on different parameters such as chain length, branching degree or the number of tiers. The model was able to demonstrate the optimal values of these parameters for maximizing the glucose stored in the smallest volume and the number of non-reducing ends. These optimal values were branching degree of 2, chain length of 13 glucose units and approximately 12 tiers (1).

| |
| − | The software we developed uses these properties to predict the structure of the molecule.

| |

Without butyrate for energy, colon cells undergo autophagy <br/>• Maintain an acidic luminal pH, which prevents the production and absorption of carcinogenic factors <br/>• Boost the mucosa of the gut and the immune system</p>

| − | <p class="space20">Butyrate has been shown to inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis in carcinoma cell lines by hyper-acetylating histones through inhibition of histone deacetylase (HDAC) and inducing gene silencing leading to apoptosis (5). Additionally, studies in rats have shown that increasing the amount of butyrate in the gut resulted in significant reduction in smooth muscle cell contractility, which lowers the risk of colon cancer (6). Another study confirmed the direct correlation of increased butyrate in the colon with a reduced tumor mass formation (7).</p>

| |
| − | <p class="space20">People consuming typical Western diets do not consume enough dietary fibre. For example, the average American only consumes 8 g a day; far less than the recommended 20 to 30 g per day (8). In addition, the microbiome differs between individuals. Some individuals have fewer bacteria that contain the butyrate biosynthetic pathway. The most abundant strains of butyrate producing bacteria in the gut was demonstrated to be Eubacterium rectum and <i>E. halliii</i> (9). The overall quantity of SCFAs produced in the colon is dependent on two factors: the amount of resistant carbohydrate molecules that pass to the colon for fermentation by colonic bacteria and bacteria with SCFA biosynthetic pathways being present in the microbiome.</p>
