Product Name:
inulin
Definition:
Inulins are a group of naturally occurring polysaccharides produced by
many types of plants.[1] They belong to a class of fibers known as
fructans. Inulin is used by some plants as a means of storing energy and
is typically found in roots or rhizomes. Most plants that synthesize and
store inulin do not store other materials such as starch.
Medical
Inulin is used to help measure kidney function by determining the
glomerular filtration rate (GFR). GFR is the volume of fluid filtered
from the renal (kidney) glomerular capillaries into the Bowman's capsule
per unit time.[7] Inulin is of particular use as it is not secreted or
reabsorbed in the distal convoluted tubule or the collecting duct,
allowing GFR to be calculated, rather than total renal filtration.
