Effects of dietary fat on postprandial substrate oxidation and on carbohydrate and fat balances.

To study the effect of dietary fat on postprandial substrate utilization and nutrient balance, respiratory exchange was determined in seven young men for 1 h before and 9 h after the ingestion of one of three different breakfasts: i.e., bread, jam, and dried meat (482 kcal: 27% protein, 62% carbohydrate, and 11% fat); bread, jam, and dried meat plus 50 g of margarine containing long-chain trigl...

St. John's wort.

Pea flour digestibility and fermentability measured with 13C isotopes.

It is well established that some starches are resistant to human digestive enzymes and enter the large intestine where they may be fermented by the colonic bacterial flora to short chain fatty acids and gases (C02~ H2, C h ) [I]. It is difficult to measure the digestibility and fermentability of starch foods in vivo, in normal man, and most studies have been performed with ileostomy patients or...
