Four soluble dietary fibers (SDFs) were fortified with corn starch (CS) at different concentrations to match the same viscosity equivalents. The mixtures were subjected to a simulated digestion procedure to study the effects of SDFs on viscosity properties and digestion kinetics of CS. Results showed that SDFs increased the hydration property and decreased the water mobility of digesta. During digestion process, SDFs increased the apparent viscosity of digesta to some extent, and showed significant difference to delay the decay of digesta viscosity (k). The amylolysis inhibitory ability was similar when each SDF was present at the same viscosity equivalent, however, significant differences were found on the digestion rate constant of k. Linear correlations between k and k were established for 1 and 2 equivalent groups. These results demonstrated that SDFs could delay the digestion process as chemistry differences, which related to their ability on delaying the change of digesta viscosity.

Department of Gastroenterology, Hematology and Clinical immunology, Hirosaki University Graduate School of Medicine, 5 Zaifu-cho, Hirosaki-shi, Aomori 036-8562, Japan.

The beneficial effects of water-soluble dietary fiber on liver fat and fibrosis involve the gut microbiota; however, few epidemiological studies have investigated this association. This large-scale epidemiological study aimed to determine the effect of water-soluble dietary fiber intake on liver fat and fibrosis via gut microbiota for the general population. We divided low- and high-intake groups by median daily water-soluble dietary fiber intake and matched background factors by propensity score matching for sex and age.

Effects of in vitro simulated digestion on the hypoglycaemic capacity of wheat bran-soluble dietary fibre.

Biochem Biophys Res Commun

College of Food Science and Engineering, Nanjing University of Finance and Economics, Nanjing, 210023, China. Electronic address:

Wheat bran-soluble dietary fibre (WB-SDF) is known for its hypoglycaemic properties and its potential to control postprandial blood glucose levels in individuals with hyperglycaemia. However, the digestive process may alter its glucose-lowering potential. This study investigated the effects of in vitro simulated digestion on the hypoglycaemic efficacy of WB-SDF.

Gastrointestinal absorption and its regulation of hawthorn leaves flavonoids.

Sci Rep

January 2025

School of Pharmacy, Fudan University, 826 Zhangheng Road, Shanghai, 201203, P.R. China.

Hawthorn leave flavonoids (HLF) are widely used as an herb or dietary supplements for cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. However, its gastrointestinal absorption behavior and mechanism have not been disclosed. In this study, gastrointestinal absorption and its regulation of 4''-O-glucosylvitexin (GLV), 2''-O-rhamnosylvitexin (RHV), vitexin (VIT), rutin (RUT) and hyperoside (HP) in HLF were investigated using in vitro, in situ and in vivo models.

Cholinergic deficiency and neuroinflammation are the two main factors of Alzheimer's disease. Recent studies have shown that water-soluble ginseng oligosaccharides (WGOS) derived from Panax ginseng roots can protect against scopolamine-induced impairments in learning and memory. However, the fundamental mechanisms remain unclear for the most part.

Relationship between vitamin D deficiency and gestational diabetes: a narrative review.

Vitamin D, often referred to as the "sunshine vitamin," is an essential fat-soluble vitamin that plays a critical role in bone health and has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent among pregnant and pre-pregnancy women, which increases the risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a common complication during pregnancy. Recent studies have explored various aspects of the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and GDM, including the mechanisms by which vitamin D affects glucose metabolism, the role of the vitamin D receptor gene, and the impact of routine vitamin D supplementation before and during pregnancy.
