The physiological effect of dietary fiber: an update

This review examines plant structure and chemistry; the physical properties of dietary fiber and briefly covers the quantitative measurement of fiber. It also addresses the major effects of dietary fiber on: 1) gastrointestinal absorption; 2) sterol metabolism; 3) cecal fermentation; and 4) stool we...

Zusammenfassung:	This review examines plant structure and chemistry; the physical properties of dietary fiber and briefly covers the quantitative measurement of fiber. It also addresses the major effects of dietary fiber on: 1) gastrointestinal absorption; 2) sterol metabolism; 3) cecal fermentation; and 4) stool weight. Finally mathematical equations to describe the intraluminal effects of fiber are presented
