Journal ArticleDOI
Melibiose, difructose anhydride III and difructose anhydride IV enhance net calcium absorption in rat small and large intestinal epithelium by increasing the passage of tight junctions in vitro
TL;DR: It is concluded that the three indigestible saccharides directly affect the epithelial tissue and activate the passage of tight junctions, thereby promoting Ca absorption in the small and large intestine in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of garcinia cambogia (Hydroxycitric Acid) on visceral fat accumulation: a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial
Kohsuke Hayamizu,Yuri Ishii,Izuru Kaneko,Manzhen Shen,Yasuhide Okuhara,Norihiro Shigematsu,Hironori Tomi,Mitsuhiro Furuse,Gen Yoshino,Hiroyuki Shimasaki +9 more
TL;DR: G cambogia reduced abdominal fat accumulation in subjects, regardless of sex, who had the visceral fat accumulation type of obesity, and it is expected that G c Cambogia may be useful for the prevention and reduction of accumulation of visceral fat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of difructose anhydride III on calcium absorption in humans.
TL;DR: Findings suggests that low dose of DFAIII had a stimulating effect on calcium absorption in humans and there were no differences in the urine concentrations of creatinine and deoxypyridinoline between the subjects given DFA III and the control subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indigestible disaccharides open tight junctions and enhance net calcium, magnesium, and zinc absorption in isolated rat small and large intestinal epithelium.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the three indigestible saccharides directly affect the epithelial tissue and open TJs, thereby promoting Ca, Mg, and Zn absorption in the small and large intestine in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-week feeding of difructose anhydride III enhances calcium absorptive activity with epithelial cell proliferation in isolated rat cecal mucosa.

TL;DR: The increase in Ca transport involved two mechanisms: the presence of D FAIII in the small intestine directly affected the epithelial tissue and caused increased Ca absorption as a short-term effect, and the degradation of DFAIII by microbial fermentation produced short-chain fatty acids and subsequently enhanced Ca absorption in the large intestine as a long-termeffect.
