Serum and liver cholesterol concentrations in rats fed the diet containing SA were comparable to those in rats fed the diet containing cellulose. But feeding of Low-SA increased serum and liver cholesterol levels when compared with feeding of SA. Fecal total steroid excretion was decreased in the Low-SA group. The concentration of triglyceride in serum and liver was significantly lower in the SA and Low-SA groups than in the cellulose group. Feeding of SA reduced hepatic fatty acid synthase activity and increased both hepatic carnitine palmitoyltransferase activity and excretion of fecal triglyceride. Low-SA increased only the activity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase. These results suggest that SA and Low-SA exert a triglyceride-lowering effect by the reduction of hepatic lipogenesis and/or the stimulation of fatty acid catabolism, although Low-SA, compared with SA, increased the levels of serum and liver cholesterol through the decrease of fecal steroid excretion.","PeriodicalId":126933,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Japanese Association for Dietary Fiber Research","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133316916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The healing and therapeutic qualities of a diet high in both soluble and insoluble fiber are manifold. Dietary fiber is necessary for clearing the digestive system. Constipation elevates blood pressure so algal dietary fiber can help to lower blood pressure. Algal dietary fiber, in addition to assisting in clearing the digestive system, also protects the surface membrane of the stomach and intestine from potential carcinogens and absorbs various substances such as sodium ions and cholesterol , ultimately to be eliminated. Recent research on experimental animals shows that certain algal acidic polysaccharides do prevent the proliferation of implanted cancer cells, possibly by enhancing the immune system. It has recently been reported that some of them elevate immune activity of cultivating cells when they were treated with some of these polysaccharides.","PeriodicalId":126933,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Japanese Association for Dietary Fiber Research","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129041419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rats were fed on a relatively high-fat diet which contains 10% of lard, and 5% or 10% of FBF. FBF did not affect the levels of serum lipids. However, the concentrations of total lipids, triacylglycerol, and cholesterol in the liver were decreased by fed a FBF-containing diet. In another experiment, we fed a diet containing 20% of FBF with 1 % of orotic acid to rats. FBF prevented the accumulation of lipids in the liver and normalized the levels of serum lipids induced by orotic acid.

The in vitro and in vivo experiments indicated that absorption of nutrients such as glucose and fatty acids is disturbed by the increased thickness of unstirred water layer as well as adsorption. Recently, dietary fiber is paid attention to the action of prebiotics. Short chain fatty acids are produced by intestinal microflora, which will be utilized as an energy source of intestinal epithelium, and then promote the repair of intestinal mucosa. We clarified that butyrate has antiinflammatory action due to the decrease of NF-KB activation, and dietary fiber as prebiotics is useful to the patients with ulcerative colitis.","PeriodicalId":126933,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Japanese Association for Dietary Fiber Research","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114356527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
