Abstract:

The ability of wheat bran and oat hulls to bind copper and zinc using a new chromatographic technique was investigated and compared to a centrifugation method. Also investigated was the bioavailability of copper which had been exogenously bound to wheat bran then fed to mice and rats. Wheat bran bound 6 mg Cu/g fiber when pH was raised to 7. Less binding occurred at lower pHs. Seven mg of zinc bound to wheat bran at pH 5 while only a trace bound at pH less than 2. Oat hulls bound 3 mg Cu/g fiber at pH 5, and less than 1 mg of zinc bound per g of oat hull at pH 6. Binding for both fibers depend

Abstract:

Mineral binding capacity of rice bran, oat hull, soy bran, wheat bran, peanut, apple, tomato, and barley fiber were investigated. Defatted fibers were analyzed for ash, protein, acid detergent fiber, and lignin. The fibers were washed with 1% HCl and Acid washed samples were studied for their mineral binding ability. The minerals tested were zinc, copper, and magnesium. Analysis of acid washed samples showed that most of the original minerals had been stripped from the fiber. In most of the fibers studied, the order of binding was copper > zinc > magnesium. Among the eight fibers studied, oat

The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of different types and levels of dietary fiber on Heligmosomoides polygrus (Nematoda) in laboratory mice. BALB/c mice were randomly assigned to one of seven diets: no fiber, cellulose (5%, 10%, 20%), and pectin (5%, 10%, 20) and infected with H. polygyrus one week later. The length of intestine increased significantly with the concentration of pectin and was associated with longer villi, thicker mucosa and increased villus/crypt ratio. In contrast, changing concentration of cellulose had minimal effects on the gastrointestinal tract. Mo

Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] Obesity is now a major public health problem worldwide. More than half the Australian population is now overweight. This is an important public health concern primarily because of the impact of overweight and obesity on risk of diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Many strategies have been proposed to fight the obesity epidemic. One possible strategy involves understanding of the role of dietary components in the control of food intake. In this regard, dietary protein and fibre appear to be the most satiating nutrients. Foods enriched in protein, replacing en

Abstract:

Several etiological models of recurrent abdominal pain (RAP) in children have been proposed but no one model has been able to adequately account for the symptoms of all children with RAP. The present study proposed that symptom presentation may provide a basis for treatment selection. Two etiological models were tested in the present study: the constipation model and the operant learning model. Subjects were assigned to either model based upon whether or not they presented with symptoms of constipation. The treatments derived from these two models were: daily dietary fiber supplements, and tea

The Wheat Bran Fiber (WBF) trial was a double-blind, placebo-controlled intervention trial in which participants were randomized to receive a cereal fiber supplement of either 2.0 or 13.5 g/day to determine whether the high-fiber supplement could decrease the risk of recurrent colorectal adenomas. No effect of the supplement was observed. However, there are several issues in the WBF trial that remain to be explored, including whether there were non-supplemental dietary changes throughout the course of the study, and whether baseline fiber intake or the amount of fiber consumed by participants

The objective of this study was to determine Thai women's nutrition awareness of folic acid and its role in the prevention of neural tube defects.
