Lactosylceramide promotes hypertrophy through ROS generation and activation of ERK1/2 in cardiomyocytes.

abstract：:Bifidobacteria are predominant in the intestines of breast-fed infants and offer health benefits to the host. Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are considered to be one of the most important growth factors for intestinal bifidobacteria. HMOs contain two major structures of core tetrasaccharide: lacto-N-tetraose (Galβ...
