Five groups of individually housed albino rats (n = 7 each, initial average weight = 42 g) were fed diets based on corn starch and casein over a 4-week period. All diets were supplemented with 35 mg/kg of iron from FeSO4 x 7 H2O. Group I (control) was fed the basal diet free of phytic acid (PA) and phytase. By replacing corn starch by 7.5 g (groups II and IV) and 15 g phytic acid (groups III and V) from sodium phytate per kg diet, molar PA/iron ratios of 18 and 36 were obtained. In groups IV and V, 1000 U phytase from Aspergillus niger per kg diet were added. Food conversion efficiency ratio and growth rate as well as iron in plasma and spleen, hemoglobin, red blood cell count and erythrocyte zinc protoporphyrin were not influenced by the different dietary treatments. Dietary phytate reduced apparent iron absorption in groups II and III. Furthermore hematocrit, transferrin saturation and iron concentration in liver and femur were lowered in rats fed diets with PA, while total and latent iron-binding capacity of plasma increased. Microbial phytase supplementation (groups IV and V) partly counteracted the antinutritive effects of phytic acid on iron availability. 相似文献

Usefulness of the dietary phytic acid/ zinc molar ratio as an index of zinc bioavailability to rats and humans 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Evidence suggests that rats can tolerate a dietary phytate/Zn molar ratio greater than 15 if the dietary Zn concentration is high. High dietary Ca exacerbates the effect of phytic acid on Zn utilization by rats. In a short term (15 d) balance trial with adult men, we observed slightly greater Zn balance when whole compared to dephytinized wheat bran was consumed (molar ratios 12 and 1.2, respectively). There was, however, greater fecal excretion of Zn during the first 5 d whole bran was consumed. In a second study, Na phytate was the major source of phytic acid and Zn balance was less when the phytate/Zn molar ratio was greater than 16 compared to 4. The difference was not significant, however, and there was evidence of physiological adjustments to maintain homeostasis when the high ratio diet was consumed. Mean Zn intake averaged 17 mg (0.26 mmole) and 11 mg (0.17 mmole) daily for the bran and Na phytate studies, respectively. The level of Zn intake may influence the response of humans to varying phytate/Zn ratios. Comparison of isotope retention studies and the balance data is discussed. Some information on the relationship of dietary Ca to the phytate/Zn effect in human diets is gathered from current literature. The phytate/Zn molar ratio is a useful index of Zn bioavailability. 相似文献

Soybean meal was fermented withAspergillus usamii to improve zinc availability through the degradation of phytic acid. Rats fed a diet containing fermented soybean meal showed
greater femoral zinc than did animals fed a diet containing regular soybean meal. Zinc solubility in the small intestine was
higher in the rats fed fermented soybean meal than in the rats fed regular soybean meal. These results suggested that fermentation
withAspergillus usamii improved zinc availability in dietary soybean meal, which was induced by the increase of zinc solubility in the small intestine.
Adding the same amount of phytate that was contained in the regular soybean mealbased diet did not affect the amount of zinc
present in rats fed a fermented soybean meal-based diet with sodium phytate. Phytase activity was found in fermented soybean
meal, and this activity may degrade added phytate in fermented soybean meal-based diet. 相似文献

An enzyme which liberates Pi from myo-inositol hexaphosphate (phytic acid) was shown to be present in culture filtrates of Bacillus subtilis. It was purified until it was homogeneous by ultracentrifugation, but it still showed two isozymes on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme differed from other previously known phytases in its metal requirement and in its specificity for phytate. It had a specific requirement for Ca2+ for its activity. The enzyme hydrolyzed only phytate and had no action on other phosphate esters tested. This B. subtilis phytase is the only known phytate-specific phosphatase. The products of hydrolysis of phytate by this enzyme were Pi and myo-inositol monophosphate. The enzyme showed optimum activity at pH 7.5. It was inhibited by Ba2+, Sr2+, Hg2+, Cd2+, and borate. Its activity was unaffected by urea, diisopropylfluorophosphate, arsenate, fluoride, mercaptoethanol, trypsin, papain, and elastase. 相似文献

Dietary soy protein, in comparison with casein, generally lowers the serum cholesterol concentration in rats fed on a cholesterol-enriched diet, while mixed results were observed in rats fed on a diet free of cholesterol. Soy protein also suppresses the conversion of linoleic acid to arachidonic acid in the rat liver. The present study examines whether phytate, a minor component of a soy protein isolate, is responsible for these beneficial effects of soy protein. Weanling male rats were fed for 4 weeks on a purified diet containing a 20% level of protein (either casein (CAS), soy protein (SOY), phytate-depleted SOY (PDSOY) or phytate-replenished PDSOY (PRSOY)) and cholesterol (0 or 0.5%). The dietary protein source and phytate level only affected the serum and liver cholesterol concentrations when the animals were fed on the cholesterol-enriched diet, being significantly lower in those rats fed on the SOY and PRSOY diets than in those fed on the CAS diet, while the concentrations in the rats fed on the PDSOY diet were intermediate. When the animals were fed on the cholesterol-free diet, the ratio of (20:3n-6 + 20:4n-6)/18:2n-6 in liver phosphatidylcholine, a delta6 desaturation index, was significantly lower in the SOY diet group than in the CAS, PDSOY and PRSOY diet groups. Dietary cholesterol significantly depressed the ratio, but neither depletion nor replenishment of phytate affected the ratio. These results suggest that phytate in soy protein played a limited role in the cholesterol-lowering effect of soy protein and was not involved in the metabolism of linoleic acid. 相似文献

Steroid balance studies were conducted on 24 conventional and 12 germfree male rats, 90-120 days old, fed diets containing either 20% safflower or 20% coconut oil. Both germfree and conventional rats fed the safflower oil diets had significantly lower serum cholesterol levels and significantly higher liver cholesterol levels than did the rats fed coconut oil. No significant differences in total fecal neutral sterols, coprostanol, Delta(7)-cholestenol, or total fecal bile acid excretion were seen between dietary groups of rats of either status. There was no evidence of qualitative differences in fecal bile acid excretion as a function of diet. The increased liver cholesterol was in the ester form, with cholesteryl linoleate the largest single component. There was no significant difference in the cholesterol content of the skin, muscle, adipose tissue, or gastrointestinal tract. The significance of a large increase in liver cholesteryl ester, lowered serum cholesterol, and no change in steroid excretion is discussed. 相似文献

Five groups of individually housed albino rats (n=7, initial average weight=48 g) were fed diets based on egg albumen and cornstarch (basal diet 8.2 g Ca, 6.0 g P, 0.7 g Mg,
225 mg Zn, 150 mg Fe, 60 mg Mn, 8 mg Cu, and 5 mg Cd) over a 4-wk period. Group I (control) was fed the basal diet free of
phytic acid (PA). In groups II, III, IV, and V, cornstarch was replaced by 3.5, 7.0, 10.5, and 14.0 g sodium phytate/kg diet,
respectively. Daily gain, feed efficiency, Zn status (Zn in plasma, femur, testes, liver and kidneys, activity of the plasma
alkaline phosphatase) and apparent absorption of Zn, Fe, Cu, and Mn remained unchanged by the different dietary treatments.
PA decreased apparent Mg absorption significantly and apparent absorption of Ca in tendency. Increasing the amount of phytate
caused a corresponding enhancement of amount of the digestible P. Cd accumulation in the liver was not significantly altered,
and kidney Cd accumulation slightly increased owing to PA. In conclusion, it was shown that under conditions of high dietary
Zn, PA had only little effect on the carryover of Cd in growing rats. 相似文献

The effects of saturated and polyunsaturated dietary fat on the lipolytic activity of post-heparin plasma, lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic triglyceride lipase (HTGL) were studied in the rat. The lipolytic activity was studied from 0 to 60 min using labelled chylomicrons as the substrate. Triacylglycerol hydrolysis rate was higher for the plasma of rats fed high fat diets (14% fat by weight). Chylomicrons of rats fed saturated or unsaturated fats were hydrolyzed at the same rate within the first 15 min but afterwards hydrolysis of chylomicrons of rats fed saturated fat was slower. The activities of LPL and HTGL were increased by high fat diets. Unsaturated fat increased more LPL activity than saturated fat conversely, HTGL activity was enhanced more by saturated fat than by unsaturated fat. 相似文献

Effects of dietary phytase on body weight gain, body composition and bone strength in growing rats fed a low-zinc diet 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Phytic acid, a major phosphorous storage compound found in foodstuffs, is known to form insoluble complexes with nutritionally essential minerals, including zinc (Zn). Phytases are enzymes that catalyze the removal of these minerals from phytic acid, improving their bioavailability. The objective of the present study was to determine the ability of dietary phytase to affect body weight, body composition, and bone strength in growing rats fed a high phytic acid, low Zn diet. Rats (n = 20) were fed either a control (AIN-93) or phytase supplemented (Natuphos, BASF, 1,500 phytase units (FTU)/kg) diet for a period of 8 weeks. Phytase supplementation resulted in increased (P<.05) bone and plasma Zn, but no change in plasma inorganic phosphorous or bone levels of Ca, Fe, or Mg. The addition of phytase to the diets resulted in a 22.4% increase (P<.05) in body weight at the end of the study as compared with rats fed a control diet. Dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) revealed that phytase supplementation resulted in increase lean body mass (LBM, P<.001) and increased bone mineral content (BMC, P<.001) as compared with feeding the control diet. Bone studies indicated that femurs and tibias from phytase supplemented rats had greater mass (P<.05) and were stronger (P<.05) than rats fed the control diet. This data suggest that the addition of phytase to low Zn diets results in improved Zn status, which may be responsible for beneficial effects on growth, body composition, and bone strength. 相似文献

For the past 50 years laboratory animals have been used to ascertain the metabolic bases for signs of zinc deficiency such as sharply reduced food intake, severe dermatitis, slow wound healing, delayed sexual development and function, reduced immunocompetence, severe teratogenic abnormalities, and abnormal metabolism of carbohydrate, lipid, and protein. Current evidence indicates that many of these symptoms may be consequences of inhibition of early steps in nucleic acid metabolism that lead to problems with cellular replication and growth and also that zinc plays an important role in membrane structure and function. Bioavailability of zinc to experimental animals was early shown to be reduced by plant protein diets and to be further reduced by feeding excess calcium. Current evidence indicates phytic acid in plant proteins to be a major inhibitor of zinc absorption, although food-processing methods can either increase or decrease zinc bioavailability. The inhibitory effect of phytic acid is very dependent on dietary calcium in association with phytate and zinc. Usual calcium intakes by humans are much below those demonstrated in animals to cause phytate inhibition of dietary zinc availability. 相似文献

Phytic acid forms insoluble complexes with nutritionally essential minerals, including zinc (Zn). Animal studies show that addition of microbial phytase (P) to low-Zn diets improves Zn status and bone strength. The present study determined the effects of phytase supplementation on bone mineral density (BMD), body composition and voluntary running activity of male rats fed a high phytic acid, low-Zn diet. In a factorial design, rats were assigned to ZnLO (5 mg/kg diet), ZnLO+P (ZnLO diet with 1500 U phytase/kg) or ZnAD (30 mg/kg diet) groups and were divided into voluntary exercise (EX) or sedentary (SED) groups, for 9 weeks. SED rats were significantly heavier from the second week, and no catch-up growth occurred in EX rats. Feed intakes were not different between groups throughout the study. ZnLO animals had decreased food efficiency ratios compared to both phytase-supplemented (ZnLO+P) and Zn-adequate (ZnAD) animals (P<.01 compared to ZnLO). The ZnLO+P and ZnAD rats ran 56–75 km more total distance than ZnLO rats (P<.05), with the ZnLO+P rats running more kilometers per week than the ZnLO rats by Week 6. In vivo DEXA analyses indicate that rats fed phytase-supplemented diets had higher lean body mass (LBM) than those fed ZnLO diets; and that rats fed the Zn-adequate diets had the highest LBM. Body fat (%) was significantly lower in EX rats and was both Zn- and phytase insensitive. Rats fed phytase-supplemented diets had higher bone mineral content (BMC), bone area (BA) and BMD than rats fed ZnLO diets; and in rats fed ZnAD diets these indices were the highest. The dietary effects on BMC, BA and BMD were independent of activity level.We conclude that consuming supplemental dietary phytase or dietary Zn additively enhances Zn status to increase BMD, LBM and voluntary physical activity in rats fed a low-Zn diet. While the findings confirm that bone health is vulnerable to disruption by moderate Zn deficiency in rats, this new data suggests that if dietary Zn is limiting, supplemental phytase may have beneficial effects on LBM and performance activity. 相似文献

The effect of microbiological deconjugation of bile acids on total bile acid and neutral sterol fecal excretion by adult male rats has been studied. A screening method utilizing mice allowed selection of a Clostridium perfringens type A strain, which accelerated cholesterol catabolism in mice. When this species of bacteria was associated with germfree rats, the fecal bile acids were excreted as free bile acids (deconjugated), however the quantities of bile acids excreted were not increased compared with those of germfree rats. Conventional rats excrete twice as much bile acids (all deconjugated) as do the germfree and C. perfringens-associated rats. It is, therefore, unlikely that the microbiological deconjugation of bile acids is responsible for the increased fecal excretion of bile acids seen in conventional rats. The C. perfringens-associated rats excreted identical kinds and quantities of fecal neutral sterols as did the germfree rats. 相似文献

Twelve strains of lactic acid bacteria were examined for their ability to degrade phytate. In media in which phytic acid was the source of phosphate, phytate degradation was observed. Phytate disappearance may however not only be due to phytase, as phytic acid coprecipitated with protein as a consequence of a fall in pH during fermentation. 相似文献

This review describes the present state of knowledge about phytic acid (phytate), which is often present in legume seeds. The antinutritional effects of phytic acid primarily relate to the strong chelating associated with its six reactive phosphate groups. Its ability to complex with proteins and particularly with minerals has been a subject of investigation from chemical and nutritional viewpoints. The hydrolysis of phytate into inositol and phosphates or phosphoric acid occurs as a result of phytase or nonenzymatic cleavage. Enzymes capable of hydrolysing phytates are widely distributed in micro-organisms, plants and animals. Phytases act in a stepwise manner to catalyse the hydrolysis of phytic acid. To reduce or eliminate the chelating ability of phytate, dephosphorylation of hexa- and penta-phosphate forms is essential since a high degree of phosphorylation is necessary to bind minerals. There are several methods of decreasing the inhibitory effect of phytic acid on mineral absorption (cooking, germination, fermentation, soaking, autolysis). Nevertheless, inositol hexaphosphate is receiving increased attention owing to its role in cancer prevention and/or therapy and its hypocholesterolaemic effect. 相似文献

Biodiversity of human faecal bacteria isolated from phytic acid enriched chemostat fermenters 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
BACKGROUND: Myo-inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) or phytic acid is found mostly in cereals and legumes and is thought to possess anti-carcinogenic properties. AIM: To isolate and identify faecal bacteria capable of phytic acid metabolism and to assess the effectiveness of prebiotics (dietary oligosaccharides, metabolised by selective colonic bacteria) in preserving the integrity of phytic acid. METHODS: Faecal samples from three volunteers were used in continuous culture experiments under varying conditions of pH, substrate concentration and dilution rates, seventy three different isolates cultured at steady state were then screened for phytic acid metabolism and identified through partial sequencing of their 16S rRNA genes (16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid). Utilisation of phytic acid was also assessed in a continuous culture system enriched with prebiotic fructooligosaccharides (FOS). RESULTS: Bacteroides spp., Clostridium spp. and facultatively anaerobic bacteria generally appeared to maintain viable counts in the presence of phytic acid. Bifidobacterium spp. and Lactobacillus spp. appeared less able to maintain viable counts in the presence of phytic acid. These results were confirmed by an increase in viable counts of Bacteroides spp., Clostridium spp. and a decrease in viable counts of Bifidobacterium spp. and Lactobacillus spp. once phytic acid was introduced to a FOS enriched continuous culture. CONCLUSIONS: The phytate metabolising biodiversity from the human large intestine does not appear to encompass major bacterial genera associated with beneficial or benign health effects (e.g. Lactobacillus spp. and Bifidobacterium spp). 相似文献

Phytic acid is a major determinant of zinc bioavailability. Little is known about phytic acid intakes or indices of zinc bioavailability in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), a condition that predisposes to zinc deficiency. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to measure and explore the relationships among phytic acid intake, zinc bioavailability, and molecular markers of zinc homeostasis in 20 women with DM compared to 20 healthy women. The phytate/zinc, (calcium)(phytate)/zinc, and (calcium + magnesium)(phytate)/zinc molar ratios were used to indicate zinc bioavailability. Plasma zinc concentrations and zinc transporter (ZnT1, ZnT8, and Zip1) gene expression in mononuclear cells were measured. Participants with DM consumed 1,194?±?824?mg/day (mean?±?SD) phytic acid, an amount similar to the intake of healthy women (1,316?±?708?mg/day). Bread products and breakfast cereals contributed more than 40?% of the phytic acid intake in each group. A positive relationship was observed in all participants between phytic acid and dietary fiber (r?=?0.6, P?<?0.001) and between dietary fiber and the (calcium)(phytate)/zinc ratio (r?=?0.5, P?<?0.001). Compared to the healthy group, the messenger RNA ratio of ZnT1 (zinc export) to Zip1 (zinc import) was lower in participants with DM, which may indicate perturbed zinc homeostasis in the disorder. The plasma zinc concentration was not predicted by age, body mass index, health status, zinc bioavailability, or zinc transporter expression. Healthy and diabetic women consume phytic acid in amounts that are likely to decrease the bioavailability of dietary zinc. Recommendations to consume greater amounts of dietary fiber, much of which is associated with phytate, increase the risk of zinc deficiency. 相似文献

Phytic acid was extracted from sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) and fed to Wistar rats with or without zinc for 3 weeks. Animals were then sacrificed and bone and faecal minerals were
assessed. The ultra-structure of the bones was examined via scanning electron microscopy. Phytic acid extract or commercial
phytic acid supplemented diets (D + Zn + PE or D + PE) displayed reduced bone calcium levels (101.27 ± 59.11 and 119.27 ± 45.36 g/kg)
compared to the other test groups. Similarly, reduced calcium were observed in the control groups (D + Zn and D) fed formulated
diets with or without zinc supplementation (213.14 ± 15.31 and 210 ± 6.88 g/kg) compared to the other test groups. The group
fed supplemented commercial phytic acid diet (D + CP) demonstrated the lowest femur magnesium (3.72 ± 0.13 g/kg) while the
group fed phytic acid extract supplementation (D + PE) recorded the highest level (4.84 ± 0.26 g/kg) amongst the groups. Femur
iron was highest in the group fed commercial phytic acid supplemented diet (D + CP −115.74 ± 2.41 g/kg) compared to the other
groups. Faecal magnesium levels were significantly higher in the two test groups fed phytic acid extract with or without zinc
(D + Zn + PE or D + PE) compared to all other groups. All the groups which had phytic acid supplemented diets had significantly
thinner bone in the trabecular region, compared to the groups fed formulated diet or zinc supplemented formulated diet (D
or D + Zn). These observations suggest that the consumption of foods high in phytic acid may contribute to a reduction in
the minerals available for essential metabolic processes in rats. 相似文献

Effects of iron and phytic acid on production of extracellular radicals by Enterococcus faecalis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Enterococcus faecalis is a human intestinal commensal that produces extracellular superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radical while colonizing the intestinal tract. To determine whether dietary factors implicated in colorectal cancer affect oxidant production by E. faecalis, radicals were measured in rats colonized with this microorganism while on diets supplemented with iron or phytic acid. Hydroxyl radical activity was measured by assaying for aromatic hydroxylation products of D-phenylalanine using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and electrochemical detection. In vitro, as expected, iron enhanced, and phytic acid decreased, hydroxyl radical formation by E. faecalis. For rats colonized with E. faecalis given supplemental dietary iron (740 mg elemental iron as ferric phosphate per kg diet) or phytic acid (1.2% w/w), no differences were found in concentrations of urinary ortho- or meta- isomers of D-phenylalanine compared to rats on a basal diet. Aqueous radicals in colonic contents were further assessed ex vivo by electron spin resonance using 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide as a spin trap. Mixtures of thiyl (sulfur-centered) and oxygen-centered radicals were detected across all diets. In vitro, similar spectra were observed when E. faecalis was incubated with hydrogen sulfide, air-oxidized cysteine, or an alkylsulfide, as typical sulfur-containing compounds that might occur in colonic contents. In conclusion, intestinal colonization with E. faecalis in a rat model generates both thiyl and oxygen-centered radicals in colonic contents. Radical formation, however, was not significantly altered by short-term dietary supplementation with iron or phytic acid. 相似文献

High iron consumption has been proposed to relate to an increase in the risk of colon cancer, whereas high levels of supplemental sodium phytate effectively reduce iron-induced oxidative injury and reverse iron-dependent augmentation of colorectal tumorigenesis. However, the protective role of intrinsic dietary phytate has not been determined. In this study, we examined the impact of removing phytate present in a corn-soy diet by supplemental microbial phytase on susceptibility of pigs to the oxidative stress caused by a moderately high dietary iron intake. Thirty-two weanling pigs were fed the corn-soy diets containing two levels of iron (as ferrous sulfate, 80 or 750 mg/kg diet) and microbial phytase (as Natuphos, BASF, Mt. Olive, NJ, 0 or 1200 units/kg). Pigs fed the phytase-supplemented diets did not receive any inorganic phosphorus to ensure adequate degradation of phytate. After 4 months of feeding, liver, colon, and colon mucosal scrapings were collected from four pigs in each of the four dietary groups. Colonic lipid peroxidation, measured as thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TBARS), was increased by both the high iron (P< 0.0008) and phytase (P< 0.04) supplementation. Both TBARS and F2-isoprostanes, an in vivo marker of lipid peroxidation, in colonic mucosa were affected by dietary levels of iron (P< 0.03). Mean hepatic TBARS in pigs fed the phytase-supplemented, high iron diet was 43%-65% higher than that of other groups although the differences were nonsignificant. Moderately high dietary iron induced hepatic glutathione peroxidase activity (P= 0.06) and protein expression, but decreased catalase (P< 0.05) in the colonic mucosa. In conclusion, intrinsic phytate in corn and soy was protective against lipid peroxidation in the colon associated with a moderately high level of dietary iron. 相似文献

In order to study the histochemical nature of mucosaccharides in germfree animals, the organs in natural contact with bacteria (stomach, small and large intestine) and those naturally remote from bacteria (tracheal and ear cartilage and aorta) were studied by means of light microscopic methods for mucosaccharides in germfree and conventional rats. In the stomach (surface and foveolar cells) of germfree rats the histochemical reactions for acid and neutral mucosaccharides were apparently less intense than in that of conventional rats, whereas in the small and large intestine (goblet cells) of germfree rats the reactions were significantly more intense than in those of conventional rats. In the cartilage (intercellular matrix, lacunar border and chondrocyte cytoplasm) and aorta (interelastic spaces) of germfree animals the reactions were less intense than in those of conventional animals. In addition, some differences in the histochemical nature of mucosaccharides between the organs of germfree and conventional rats were noted, as revealed by the effects of chemical modifications and digestions with enzymes upon the histochemical reactions studied. 相似文献
