“…Sterol balance studies have been performed to evaluate the effects of the composition of the diet on sterol excretion (Connor et al, 1969;Grundy and Ahrens, 1969;Nestel et al, 1975). These metabolic ward investigations were elaborate, but owing to variations in bacterial degradation of the sterol ring structure in the large intestine, and variations in colonic transit time, precision was insufficient to settle the question of the effects of different diets on sterol excretion (Andersson and Bosaeus, 1993).…”
Objective: To study whether oat bran with native b-glucans increases bile acid excretion and bile acid synthesis as measured by serum concentrations of 7a-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one (7a-HC). Design: Short-term interventional crossover study evaluating cholesterol absorption, ileal excretion of cholesterol and bile acids, and serum levels of cholesterol and bile acid metabolites. Differences between diets evaluated with Wilcoxon's signed rank-sum test.Setting: Outpatients at a metabolic-ward kitchen. Subjects: Nine volunteers with conventional ileostomies. Methods: Two 3-day-diet periods, with controlled, blinded basal diet including 75 g extruded oat bran breakfast cereal daily, with either 11.6 g native or hydrolysed b-glucans. Results: Native oat bran increased median excretion of bile acids by 144% (P ¼ 0.008). Cholesterol excretion remained unchanged, cholesterol absorption decreased by 19% (P ¼ 0.013), whereas the sum of bile acid and cholesterol excretion increased by 40% (P ¼ 0.008) compared with hydrolysed oat bran. 7a-HC reflecting bile acid synthesis increased by 57% (P ¼ 0.008) within 24 h of consumption, whereas serum lathosterol concentration reflecting cholesterol synthesis increased by 12% (P ¼ 0.015). Conclusions: Oat bran with native b-glucans increases bile acid excretion within 24 h of consumption and this increase can also be detected by rising serum concentrations of 7a-HC. Thus, 7a-HC could be used for rapid detection of dietary effects on bile acid metabolism. These effects could possibly be explained by entrapment of whole micelles in the gut owing to higher viscosity.
“…1) (Chevallier, 1967 ;Lutton, 1976). The,results in the literature are conflicting, but most studies in man (Moore et al, 1968 ;Connor et al, 1969 ;Nestel, Havenstein and Whyte, 1973 ;Nestel et al, 1975) and in rat (Danielsson and Tchen, 1968) , a relationship between cholesterol synthesis (m s y) and the absorption coefficient was established (25 groups of rats out of 30 assessed as « typical » rats).…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
