Six elderly psychiatric and 17 mentally handicapped individuals suffering from severe constipation received 3 week periods of treatment with 10 g unrefined bran, three bran biscuits, and Senokot syrup daily or three times weekly. There was no significant difference in the number of bowel movements or enemas or in the consistency of the motions. The results suggest that bran may be substituted for laxatives.

Article Synopsis
- * Results showed that higher intake of bran, biscuit, oat, and muesli was associated with lower risks of diabetes and cardiovascular issues among all participants, and lower risks of chronic kidney disease and diabetic retinopathy among those with diabetes.
- * Additionally, the research identified that the polygenic risk score for glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) played a mediating role in how cereal intake influenced diabetes risk.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the distribution of deoxynivalenol (DON) and its derivatives in the wheat processing chain, focusing on how they change from wheat grain to finished products using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
- Results showed that processing wheat significantly reduced DON levels by 52.7%-68.2%, with biscuit making achieving the highest reduction of 70.6%.
- Additionally, the research assessed health risks associated with DON exposure in the Chinese population, finding that while there is an acceptable risk overall, infants and young children are the most exposed, suggesting a need for better management of DON levels in wheat products.
Carcass traits and morphometry, typification of the Longissimus dorsi muscle and non-carcass components of hair lambs: can biscuit bran completely replace corn? A machine learning approach.

Biscuit bran (BB) is a co-product with worldwide distribution, with Brazil as the second largest cookie producer in the world with 1,157,051 tons. We evaluate the impact of completely replacing corn with BB on the characteristics and morphometry of carcass of purebred and crossbred Morada Nova lambs using machine learning techniques as an auxiliary method. Twenty male lambs from two genetic groups (GG) were used: purebred red-coated Morada Nova (MNR) and crossbred MNR × white-coated Morada Nova (MNF1).

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most common type of diabetes globally and poses a major concern for human health. This study aimed to investigate the effects on T2DM of low-glycemic index (GI) potato biscuits with oat bran and inulin as functional additives. T2DM was induced in rats by streptozotocin (STZ) and a high-sugar and high-fat diet.

Purpose: The aim of this pilot study was to analyze concomitantly the kinetics of production of C-labeled gut-derived metabolites from C-labeled wheat bran in three biological matrices (breath, plasma, stools), in order to assess differential fermentation profiles among subjects.
Methods: Six healthy women consumed a controlled breakfast containing C-labeled wheat bran biscuits. H, CH and CO, CH 24 h-concentrations in breath were measured, respectively, by gas chromatography (GC) and GC-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC-IRMS).
