Product Information

Bioactivity

Description	Lacto-N-tetraose is a core component of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) and is a tetrasaccharide composed of galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, and glucose. Lacto-N-tetraose exhibits a variety of biological activities, including prebiotic effects, immunomodulatory effects, anti-inflammatory effects, regulation of intestinal cell responses, as well as antibacterial and antiviral activities. Lacto-N-tetraose is widely used in infant formula, functional foods, and biomedical research.
In vitro	Methods: Human peripheral blood lymphocytes (HPBL) were treated with Lacto-N-tetraose (250, 500, 1,000, 2,000 μg/mL) for 3 or 20 hours. Cytoplasmic fragmentation was assessed, and the CBPI and micronucleus rate were calculated. Results: Lacto-N-tetraose did not induce chromosomal breaks or aneuploidy. [1]
In vivo	Methods: Neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats were administered Lacto-N-tetraose (1,000, 2,500, 4,000 mg/kg/day) orally via gavage once daily starting at PND 7 for 90 days. Results: No adverse effects were observed at the highest dose of Lacto-N-tetraose (4,000 mg/kg/day), which was the maximum tolerated dose. [1] Methods: A constipation model was established in female BALB/c mice by intraperitoneal injection of loperamide (10 mg/kg), followed by oral gavage of Lacto-N-tetraose (450 mg/kg) once daily for 14 days. Results: Lacto-N-tetraose effectively improved gastrointestinal motility and bowel movements. [2]
