Protein degradation by human intestinal bacteria.
Analysis of human gut contents showed that substantial quantities of soluble protein, ammonia and branched chain volatile fatty acids occurred throughout the large intestine [0.1-24.4 g (kg contents)-1, 7.7-66.0 mmol (kg contents)-1 and 1.5-11.1 mmol (kg contents)-1 respectively]. The presence of these metabolites suggested that substantial proteolysis was occurring. In vitro studies showed tha...
متن کاملDegradation of bile salts by human intestinal bacteria.
It is now well established that some component of the intestinal flora is capable of degrading bile salts, since the rate of turnover of 14C-cholic acid in germfree rats has been shown to be only one fifth of that in normal rats (Gustafsson, Bergstrbm, Lindstedt, and Norman, 1957). Further, caecal fluid and faecal suspensions degrade cholic acid, producing a variety of products, including deoxy...
متن کاملDegradation of N-nitrosamines by intestinal bacteria.
A major proportion of bacterial types, common in the gastrointestinal tract of many animals and man, were active in degrading diphenylnitrosamine and dimethylnitrosamine, the former being degraded more rapidly than the latter. At low nitrosamine concentrations (is less than 0.05 micronmol/ml), approximately 55% of added diphenylnitrosamine, 30% of N-nitrosopyrrolidine, and 4% of dimethylnitrosa...
متن کاملBiotransformation of phorbol by human intestinal bacteria.
Anaerobic incubation of phorbol (1) from Croton tiglium with human intestinal bacteria afforded five metabolites: isophorbol (2), deoxyphorbol (3), 4beta,9alpha,20-trihydroxy-13,15-seco-1,6,15-tigliatriene-3,13-dione (4), 4beta,9alpha,20-trihydroxy-15,16,17-trinor-1,6-tigliadiene-3,13-dione (5) and 4beta,9a,20-trihydroxy-14(13-->12)-abeo-12alphaH-1,6-tigliadiene-3,13-dione (6). All these metabo...
متن کاملBile salt biotransformations by human intestinal bacteria.
Secondary bile acids, produced solely by intestinal bacteria, can accumulate to high levels in the enterohepatic circulation of some individuals and may contribute to the pathogenesis of colon cancer, gallstones, and other gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. Bile salt hydrolysis and hydroxy group dehydrogenation reactions are carried out by a broad spectrum of intestinal anaerobic bacteria, whereas...
