Effect of microflora and lactose on the absorption of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium in the hindgut of the rat

Abstract: Summary. For 4 weeks, 3-month old germfree (GF) and conventional (CV) rats were given a semi-synthetic diet sterilized by irradiation with or without 10 % of lactose. During the 5th week, 0.2 % of titanium oxide (Ti0 2 ) was added to the diet and the rats were killed at regular intervals throughout the light/dark cycle. The patterns of Tio 2 and 'Ca excretion were similar, indicating that Tio 2 was a good marker of unabsorbed calcium transit. The apparent absorption coefficient of calcium, magnesium and phosp… Show more

“…These substances seemed to have no effect in conventional (CV) rats (Andrieux, Sacquet and Gu6guen, 1980). These results evidenced probable destruction of MRP by the microflora, as already reported by Nesheim and Carpenter (1967), Valle-Riestra and Barnes (1970), Sgarbieri et al (1972), Adrian and Frangne (1973), Tanaka, Chichester (1975), Johnson, Baker andPerkins (1979 The method used to estimate mineral absorption has already been described (Andrieux and Sacquet, 1983 (Reynold, 1965) and that Ca stabilizes some of their constituents (Petit, 1959). However, Mg and Ca absorption was not significantly lower in the cecum and colon of GF rats.…”

“…On the other hand, there is evidence against the hypothesis that lactose stimulates calcium absorption in the germ-free rat (22,23) and maltitol also stimulates calcium absorption in everted ileal segments (9). These findings indicate that the low pH in the intestine is not only related to calcium absorption.…”

“…The absorbed VFA are metabolized predominantly in the liver and thus contribute to the energy needs of the animals. It was shown that in germfree rats, where no microbes are present in the cecum to cause fermentation, a diet which includes 10% lactose leads to uptake of calcium from the large intestine [38]. The presence of lactose apparently keeps the calcium in a form which is liable to be absorbed.…”
