New hypotheses for the health-protective mechanisms of whole-grain cereals: what is beyond fibre?

TL;DR: Benefits of nutrigenomics to study complex physiological effects of the ‘whole-grain package’, and the most promising ways for improving the nutritional quality of cereal products are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of pigs as a potential model for research into dietary modulation of the human gut microbiota.

TL;DR: The present review displays the similarities and differences in intestinal microbial ecology between humans and pigs, scrutinising the pig as a potential animal model, with regard to possible health effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimation of the fermentability of dietary fibre in vitro: a European interlaboratory study.

TL;DR: In vitro fermentations with inocula made from human faeces and from rat caecal contents gave similar results and there was a close correspondence between the data obtained in the present experiment and those previously published in in vivo studies in the rat.
Journal ArticleDOI

Critical Evaluation of in Vitro Methods for Estimating Digestibility in Simple-Stomach Animals

TL;DR: This research attacked the mode confusion problem by developing a modeling framework to estimate the importance of mechanical properties in the response of a language-based approach.

Investigation of chromium, cerium and cobalt as markers in digesta. Rate of passage studies

TL;DR: A new liquid marker, cobalt-ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), and two solid markers, chromium (Cr) and cerium (Ce) mordanted plant cell walls, were investigated and Co- EDTA was found to be comparable to Cr-EDTA.

Rate of passage of digesta in sheep. 4. Passage of marker through the alimentary tract and the biological relevance of rate-constants derived from the changes in concentration of marker in faeces.

TL;DR: Results indicated that the changes in half-times were proportionately much greater in the caecum and proximal colon than in the reticulo-rumen, and the mean transit time of marker through the digestive tract also increased from 721 to 1345 min when the concentrate diet was given.
