Journal ArticleDOI
Cholesterol Reduction by Glucomannan and Chitosan Is Mediated by Changes in Cholesterol Absorption and Bile Acid and Fat Excretion in Rats
TL;DR: Results suggest that G lowered liver cholesterol by a viscosity-mediated interference of cholesterol absorption, in contrast to CH, which appears to lower cholesterol through a different mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
A glucomannan and chitosan fiber supplement decreases plasma cholesterol and increases cholesterol excretion in overweight normocholesterolemic humans
Daniel D. Gallaher,Cynthia M. Gallaher,Gregory J. Mahrt,Timothy P. Carr,Carolyn H. Hollingshead,Robert Hesslink,John A. Wise +6 more
TL;DR: Serum cholesterol reduction by a chitosan/glucomannan supplement is likely mediated by increased fecal steroid excretion and is not linked to fat excretion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viscosity and Fermentability as Attributes of Dietary Fiber Responsible for the Hypocholesterolemic Effect in Hamsters
TL;DR: It is shown that greater viscosity of intestinal contents is strongly associated with cholesterol reduction, but that the contribution of fiber fermentation remains uncertain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indication of the Maillard reaction during storage of protein isolates.
C. G A Davies,Flavia Maria Netto,N. Glassenap,Cynthia M. Gallaher,Theodore P. Labuza,Daniel D. Gallaher +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the development of Maillard reaction products in isolated soy protein (ISP)-based diet to rats, which increased the number of colon cancerous lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bile acid metabolism in rats fed two levels of corn oil and brans of oat, rye and barley and sugar beet fiber.
TL;DR: All four fiber sources tested resulted in lower fecal bile acid concentration, by effectively causing greater fecal mass, and changes in dietary fat level as corn oil had no effect on fecalbile acids.
