    Influence of High and Low Protein Intakes on Age-Related Bone Loss in Rats Submitted to Adequate or Restricted Energy Conditions

    Low energy and protein intake has been suggested to contribute to the increased incidence of osteoporosis in the elderly. The impact of dietary protein on bone health is still a matter of debate. Therefore, we...

    Cholesterol-lowering effects of guar gum: Changes in bile acid pools and intestinal reabsorption

    Soluble fibers such as guar gum (GG) may exert cholesterol-lowering effects. It is generally accepted that bile acid (BA) reabsorption in portal blood is reduced, thus limiting the capacity of BA to down-regul...

    The cholesterol-lowering effect of guar gum in rats is not accompanied by an interruption of bile acid cycling

    A viscous hydrocolloid (guar gum, GG; 2.5% of the diet) or a steroid sequestrant (cholestyramine; 0.5% of the diet) was included in semipurified diets containing 0.2% cholesterol to compare the cholesterol-low...

    The cholesterol-lowering effect of guar gum is not the result of a simple diversion of bile acids toward fecal excretion

    The effects of partially hydrolyzed, nonviscous, guar gum (PHGG) on cholesterol metabolism and digestive balance have been compared with those of native guar gum (GUAR) in rats adapted to 0.4% cholesterol diet...

    Effectiveness of resistant starch, compared to guar gum, in depressing plasma cholesterol and enhancing fecal steroid excretion

    Amylase-resistant starch (RS) represents a substrate that can be administered in substantial amounts in the diet, in contrast to gel-forming polysaccharides, such as guar gum (GG). The aim of this work was thu...

    Resistant starch is more effective than cholestyramine as a lipid-lowering agent in the rat

    Amylase-resistant starch (RS) represents a substrate for the bacterial flora of the colon, and the question arises as whether RS shares with soluble fibers common mechanisms for their lipid-lowering effects. I...
