Introduction: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of high fiber diet on lipid profile of obese adolescent girls. Methods: This randomized cross over clinical trial was conducted in southern Iran. A total of 56 patients were randomly assigned into two groups. In the first phase, the experiment group had a high fiber diet while the control group consumed their usual diet for ...

The effect of type of fiber, site of fermentation, method for quantifying insoluble and soluble dietary fiber, and their correction for intestinal mucin on fiber digestibility were examined in rabbits. Three diets differing in soluble fiber were formulated (8.5% soluble fiber, on DM basis, in the low soluble fiber [LSF] diet; 10.2% in the medium soluble fiber [MSF] diet; and 14.5% in the high s...

In this study, we investigated the influence of a fiber-free diet on the intestinal secretory immune system in young animals. Four-week-old rats were fed either a purified diet containing sucrose as the only carbohydrate source (fiber(-) diet) or a diet supplemented with 15% natural crude fiber from sugar beets (fiber(+) diet). After 14 days of feeding, we measured total IgA content in 24-hr fe...

BACKGROUND Diets high in fiber are associated with lower levels of inflammatory markers. This study examined the reduction in inflammation from a diet supplemented with fiber compared with a diet naturally high in fiber. METHODS Randomized crossover intervention trial of 2 diets, a high-fiber (30-g/d) Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet or fiber-supplemented diet (30 g/d), aft...

The current investigation was undertaken to study the absorption and plasma concentration of carbohydrate-derived nutrients [glucose, short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), and lactate] and the apparent insulin production in sows fed diets containing contrasting types and contents of dietary fiber. Six sows were fed 3 experimental diets, low fiber (LF; 177 g of dietary fiber and 44 g of soluble fiber/...
