According to recent evidences, most isolated fibers that are water soluble will lower plasma cholesterol in humans and animals. These include pectins, psyllium, and various gums such as guar gum, locust bean gum and modified celluloses such as carboxymethylcellulose. Consumption of fiber-rich sources containing water-soluble fibers, such as oat bran, barley (sources of ƒÀ-glucan fiber), legumes, and vegetables, usually results in a lowering plasma cholesterol. In this review, I will describe two different meta-analysises and some mechanisms of these action including its effects on cholesterol synthesis rates, VLDL secretion rates, LDL turnover rates and susceptibility of LDL to oxidation.","PeriodicalId":126933,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Japanese Association for Dietary Fiber Research","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130311798","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 intake of the Japanese population was over the recommended intake of dietary fiber ( 20 25 g/day as an adult) until the 1960s, however, thereafter the intake has gradually decreased and reached to approximately 16 g/day in the 1990s, of which is defected approximately 5 g/day. The effects of the ingestion of cookies containing indigestible dextrin(ID-cookies) were investigated focusing on defecation and fecal condition in 39 healthy human subjects(12 men and 27 women). Each subject was daily given three pieces of ID-cookies (total: 26 g, ID: 5 g) for twenty days, and compared with a non-ingestion period. Fecal volume and the frequency of defecation in the group of tend to constipate were significantly increased by the cookies-ingestion ( p < 0.05 ). Fecal conditions such as shape, smell and feeling after defecation were improved by self-judgement in all subjects. These results demonstrated that the ingestion of cookies containing indigestible dextrin improved defecation and fecal condition of healty human subjects with a tendency to be constipated.","PeriodicalId":126933,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Japanese Association for Dietary Fiber Research","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128243305","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}

According to recent evidences, resistant starch(RS), a fraction of starch that survive digestion in the small intestine and reach large bowel, plays major roles in the health-promoting action of starch. In this review, we will describe some important physiological effects of RS including its historical background, formation and existence in food and functions in the large intestine. RS increased fecal mass, fecal water-holding capacity and cecal fermentation but decreased gastrointestinal transit time. Involvement of RS in lipid metabolism was also dis cussed. RS reduces glycemic index and improves glucose tolerance in rats. RS improves mineral availability through increased absorption in the large intestine. Some effects of RS on large intestinal defects were ascribed to fermentation products, short-chain fatty acids.","PeriodicalId":126933,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Japanese Association for Dietary Fiber Research","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117197206","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}

When the low-digestible saccharide, isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO) and its hydrogenated derivative (IMO-H) were applied to the methods, the hydrolysis ratios were relatively lower than those of starch hydrolysate, although the ratios de pended on the concentrations of enzyme and substrate. Changes in saccharides composition of IMO or IMO H were almost the same as those which were observed in our previous studies using intestinal mucosa en zyme. These results suggested that the Enzymatic-LC method could be useful for estimation of digestibility for some kinds of oligosaccharide, derived from starch. Further improvements of the enzymatic digestion sys tem, which could simulate a human gastric enzyme mixture, will be able to establish an available method for various types of oligosaccharides.","PeriodicalId":126933,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Japanese Association for Dietary Fiber Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133929184","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 results are summarized as follows: 1) IDex reduced the rises in both plasma glucose and insulin levels after sucrose loading. Although IDex had no effect on rises in plasma glucose levels, insulin levels both after glucose and maltodextrin loadings were reduced by IDex. 2) The postprandial blood glucose level after ingestion of the test-meal-1 (Japanese noodle and rice: carbohydrate 104.2g and 565kcal) was rapidly increased, on the contrary that after the test-meal-2 (sweet roll: carbohydrate 137.2 g and 553kca1) was gradually increased.
