Journal ArticleDOI
Inulin and oligofructose do not influence the absorption of cholesterol, or the excretion of cholesterol, Ca, Mg, Zn, Fe, or bile acids but increases energy excretion in ileostomy subjects
TL;DR: Inulin and oligofructose are not digested in the small intestine, and do not affect mineral excretion and hence hardly mineral absorption, and are probably mediated through other mechanisms than altered excretion from theSmall intestine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oat beta-glucan increases bile acid excretion and a fiber-rich barley fraction increases cholesterol excretion in ileostomy subjects.
TL;DR: In oat bran, however, beta-glucan mediates an increase in bile acid excretion, which most probably explains the effect of oat fiber in lowering serum lipids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soy sterol esters and β-sitostanol ester as inhibitors of cholesterol absorption in human small bowel
TL;DR: Esterified soy sterols and beta-sitostanol inhibited cholesterol absorption equally, despite the different structures of the plant sterols.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health effects of probiotics and prebiotics. a literature review on human studies
TL;DR: There are promising indications that probiotics could be useful against antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, and a yeast preparation has been shown to reduce the risk of relapsing Clostridium difficile diarrhoeA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intake of dietary plant sterols is inversely related to serum cholesterol concentration in men and women in the EPIC Norfolk population: a cross-sectional study

TL;DR: In a free-living population, a high intake of plant sterols is inversely associated with lower concentrations of total and low-density lipoprotein serum cholesterol, which may partly explain diet-related effects on serum cholesterol concentration.
