Germinated Barley Foodstuff Improves by Loperamide in Rats
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of germinated barley foodstuff (GBF) deriyed from the aleurone and scutell"m fractions of germinated barley low-lignified hemicellulose were examined in Spraglle-Dawley rats with constipation induced by loperamide by addition to the diet (2mg!kg body weight). Bowel moyements were higher in the GBF-fed rats than in the cellulose-fed rats used as a control. Fecal water content was also higher in the GBF-fed rats. The concentration of short chain fatty acids i" ceca] content, especially butyrate, was significantly higher in the GBF-fed rats than in the cellulose-fed rats. These findings suggested that GBF helps normalize defecation not only in diarrhea but also collstipation.

Effects of germinated barley foodstuff in preventing diarrhea and forming normal feces in ceco-colectomized rats.
Germinated barley foodstuff (GBF) derived from the aleurone and scutellum fractions of germinated barley was rich in glutamine and low-lignified hemicellulose. The diarrhea caused by ceco-colectomy could be prevented by feeding GBF to rats. GBF could also increase the protein content and sucrase activity of small intestinal mucosa in this model. This diarrhea-preventive effect of GBF would be b...

Recent studies have suggested that dietary fiber exerts a therapeutic effect on inflammatory bowel disease patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a dietary fiber, germinated barley foodstuff (GBF), derived from the aleurone and scutellum fraction of germinated barley against dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced experimental colitis in rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a...
