Sufficient intake of high amylose cornstarch maintains high colonic hydrogen production for 24 h in rats

Abstract:
Colonic hydrogen (H2) can suppress oxidative stress and damage in the body. We examined the minimum requirement of high amylose cornstarch (HAS) to maintain high colonic H2 production for 24 h. Ileorectostomized and sham-operated rats were fed a control diet supplemented with or without 20% HAS for 7 days. Colonic starch utilization was determined. Next, rats were fed the control diet with or without 10% or 20% HAS for 14 or 28 days, respectively. Breath and flatus H2 excretion for 24 h was measured. 1.04 g of resistant fraction in HAS was utilized for 24 h by colonic bacteria. High H2 excretion was not maintained for 24 h in rats fed the 10% HAS diet, from which only 0.89 g of resistant starch was estimated to be delivered. High colonic H2 production for 24 h would be maintained by delivering more HAS to the large intestine than is utilized. © 2016 Japan Society for Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Agrochemistry.

Hydrogen-rich water upregulates fecal propionic acid levels in overweight adults
2023 - Intestine - Obesity
Fecal short-chain fatty acids are responsive to oral hydrogen in overweight adults. Propionic acid significantly increased in participants who consumed hydrogen-rich water for 12 wk compared with those who consumed tap water. This finding holds ...

Objective: Molecular hydrogen (H2) exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects, and has shown benefits in glucose and lipid metabolism in certain animal metabolic disorder models. However, the potential benefits of H2 treatment ...
Solubility of various inert gases in rat skeletal muscle
1975 - Whole Body - Hydrogen Biology
For the determination of solubility coefficients, isolated rat abdominal muscles were equilibrated at 37 degrees C with various inert gases saturated with water vapor. After rapid transfer into a closed chamber containing room air the amount of gas ...
Diffusivity of various inert gases in rat skeletal muscle
1975 - Whole Body - Hydrogen Biology
Krogh's diffusion constant (K) was determined for various inert gases in isolated rat abdominal muscle at 37 degrees C by measuring the amount of gas diffusing per unit time and partial pressure difference through a portion of the muscle of known ...
Solubility of inert gases in dog blood and skeletal muscle
1980 - Whole Body - Hydrogen Biology
Solubility of H2, Ar, CH4 and SF6 was determined at 310 K (37 degrees C) in water, in saline (0.154 mol NaCl/l H2O), in plasma and whole blood of dogs, and in homogenates of the dog gastrocnemius muscle. The liquids were equilibrated with pure gases, ...
