THE EFFECTS OF TWO DIETARY FIBER SUPPLEMENTS ON GASTROINTESTINAL TRANSIT, STOOL WEIGHT AND FREQUENCY, AND BACTERIAL FLORA, AND FECAL BILE ACIDS IN NORMAL SUBJECTS.

The effect of dietary supplements of sugar-cane fiber (bagasse), on stool weight, solids, and water content were studied in normal ambulant volunteers over a 9-mo period; a second inpatient study was done with bran supplements. The addition on 10.5 g of bagasse containing 5.1 g of crude fiber to a normal diet containing 3.7 g [...]

CHANGES IN FAECAL COMPOSITION AND COLONIC FUNCTION DUE TO CEREAL FIBRE.

The formation of SCFA in rats fed fermented oat fibre concentrates was compared with that of rats fed native oat fibre concentrate. The cultures used were lactic acid bacteria consisting of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus (V2), the exopolysaccharide-producing strain Pediococcus damnosus 2.6 (Pd) and L. reuteri (Lr). The materials were incorporated into test diets [...]

HYDRATION EFFECTS ON COGNITIVE PERFORMANCE DURING MILITARY TASKS IN TEMPERATE AND COLD ENVIRONMENTS.

Body water deficits or hypohydration (HYP) may degrade cognitive performance during heat exposure and perhaps temperate conditions. Cold exposure often induces HYP, but the combined effects of cold and HYP on cognitive performance are unknown. This study investigated whether HYP degrades cognitive performance during cold exposure and if physical exercise could mitigate any cold-induced performance [...]
