TLDR
It is demonstrated that RS has a significant impact on putative markers of colonic health in humans and the presence of starch in the colon may affect the fermentation of NSP.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Short-Chain Fatty Acids and Human Colonic Function: Roles of Resistant Starch and Nonstarch Polysaccharides
TL;DR: Resistant starch is a prebiotic, but knowledge of its other interactions with the microflora is limited and the contribution of RS to fermentation and colonic physiology seems to be greater than that of NSP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Colonic health: fermentation and short chain fatty acids.
TL;DR: More human studies are now needed on SCFAs, especially, given the diverse nature of carbohydrate substrates and the SCFA patterns resulting from their fermentation, which will be key to the success of dietary recommendations to maximize colonic disease prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Characterization of Feces and Urine: A Review of the Literature to Inform Advanced Treatment Technology
TL;DR: Variation in the volume and composition of urine is caused by differences in physical exertion, environmental conditions, as well as water, salt, and high protein intakes, which should always be considered if the generation rate, physical, and chemical composition of feces and urine is to be accurately predicted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grain legumes--a boon to human nutrition.
TL;DR: Dietary fibre, which is a heterogeneous mixture of several types of polysaccharides, is rich in legumes, especially in their husk fractions and contributes to beneficial therapeutic health effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health properties of resistant starch
TL;DR: Pressure to agree a legal definition and universal method of analysis for dietary fibre is likely to increase due to the potential of RS to enhance colonic health, and to act as a vehicle to increase the total dietary fibre content of foodstuffs, particularly those which are low in energy and/or in total carbohydrate content.

Critical evaluation of energy intake data using fundamental principles of energy physiology: 1. Derivation of cut-off limits to identify under-recording.
Gail R Goldberg,Alison E. Black,Susan A. Jebb,Tim J Cole,Peter R. Murgatroyd,W A Coward,Andrew M. Prentice +6 more
TL;DR: Minimum cut-off limits for energy intake below which a person of a given sex, age and body weight could not live a normal life-style are defined, derived from whole-body calorimeter and doubly-labelled water measurements in a wide range of healthy adults.

Epidemiology of cancer of the colon and rectum
TL;DR: It seems likely that carcinogens produced by the action of an abnormal bacterial flora when held for a prolonged period in a concentrated form in contact with the bowel mucosa may account for the high incidence of these diseases in economically developed countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utilization of nutrients by isolated epithelial cells of the rat colon.
TL;DR: The high rate of CO2 production from butyrate should be a worthwhile means of examining the functional activity of the colonic mucosa clinically and in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short chain fatty acids in the human colon.
TL;DR: The human colon contains a luxuriant mixed culture of bacteria, which is in the main strictly anaerobic, the end-products being primarily the short chain, or volatile, fatty acids, acetic, propionic, and butyric acid.
