摘要:The effects of dietary fat and dietary fiber (DF) levels in diet on fecal flora, activities of three fecal enzymes, putrefactive metabo-lites, fecal mutagenicity and fecal properties were studied in eight healthy volunteers. They were given low fat and low DF diet (LF: fat energy ratio was 13.9%, and DF intake was 9.0g/day) for 10 days, high fat and low DF diet (HF: fat energy ratio was 52.7%, and DF intake was 7.1g/day) for 10 days, and high fat and high DF diet (HFF: fat energy ratio was 52.0%, and DF intake was 24.8g/day) for 10 days. No change of fecal flora at the bacterial group level was observed throughout the experimental period, except that the population of lactobacilli showed a tendency to increase in HF period. Fecal activities of β-glucuronidase, β-glucosidase and nitroreductase and some putrefactive products were unchanged between LF and HF, while these values decreased in HFF period. No significant change of fecal properties was observed between LF and HF, while by HFF supplementation fecal weight increased and fecal pH value was lower than that in LF and HF. Excretions of iron, zinc and calcium in feces did not increase by high DF supplementation.
