Metabolism of dietary fibre components in man assessed by breath hydrogen and methane.

چکیده
1. Breath hydrogen and methane were measured in eight normal individuals after acute and separate administration of different chemical components of dietary fibre. 2. Hemicellulose, raffinose and lactulose increased H2 production, while cellulose pectin and lignin did not. Methane production was found to be individual and unaffected by any of the substances. Differences in physical properties of the same chemical appear to have no influences on H2 and CH4 production.

The effect of mixing and changing the order of feeding oats and chopped alfalfa to horses on: glycaemic and insulinaemic responses, and breath hydrogen and methane production.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of feeding oats alone before or after feeding chopped alfalfa or, in admixture with the alfalfa on the glycaemic and insulinaemic responses of horses as well as post-prandial breath hydrogen and methane excretion. Horses were fed in a randomized order, chopped alfalfa as a source of dietary fibre and unprocessed oats as a source of starch. Ch...
متن کاملThe influence of dietary fibre on caecal metabolism in the rat.
The influence of three diets ((1) high-fibre - low-fat, (2) low-fibre - high-fat, (3) commercial breeding diet) on the concentration of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) has been investigated in male and female rats up to 14 weeks of age. Hydrogen was detected in respired gas in all rats with no significant differences between diets or sex. Methane was detected only in control-fed rats at 12 weeks...
متن کاملAnalyzing and Comparing Energy and Exergy of POXR and SMR Reactors for Producing Hydrogen from Methane Gas
The POXR and SMR methods adopted in producing hydrogen from methane gas are simulated and exergy analysis of both the processes are run for comparison. The effective parameters of the feeding materials ratio and the system temperature for maximizing hydrogen production and increasing efficiency are assessed here. Influenced by the changes in these parameters the unit efficiency is increased up ...
متن کاملSmall intestine bacterial overgrowth is frequent in cystic fibrosis: combined hydrogen and methane measurements are required for its detection.
INTRODUCTION Hydrogen breath test (BT) is commonly used as a diagnostic tool for the detection of small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). It was reported that colonic methane production is far more frequent in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients than in other subjects. Therefore, measuring exclusively hydrogen in the diagnostic breath test for diagnosing SIBO might be of limited value. We aimed ...
متن کاملBacterial overgrowth can be detected by breath hydrogen measurement before clinical manifestations in suckling lambs
Hydrogen breath test is a non-invasive and inexpensive method for estimation of small bowel transit time, detection of excess bacteria in the small intestine and demonstration of maldigestion or malabsorption. Until now, little has been known about breath hydrogen excretion in lambs. The aim of our study was to assess the patterns of breath hydrogen excretion in lambs before and after feeding e...
