Effect of chitosan feeding on intestinal bile acid metabolism in rats
@article{Fukada1991EffectOC, title={Effect of chitosan feeding on intestinal bile acid metabolism in rats}, author={Yasuhiko Fukada and Koji Kimura and Yoshikazu Ayaki}, journal={Lipids}, year={1991}, volume={26}, pages={395-399} }
The effect of chitosan feeding (for 21 days) on intestinal bile acids was studied in male rats. Serum cholesterol levels in rats fed a commercial diet low in cholesterol were decreased by chitosan supplementation. Chitosan inhibited the transformation of cholesterol to coprostanol without causing a qualitative change in fecal excretion of these neutral sterols. Increased fiber consumption did not increase fecal excretion of bile acids, but caused a marked change in fecal bile acid composition…

It is suggested that chitosan improve lipid metabolism by regulating TC and LDL-C by upregulating of hepatic LDL receptor mRNA expression, increasing the excretion of fecal bile acids.

The findings suggest that enhancement of hepatic CYP7A1 activity may be a mechanism, which can partially account for the hypocholesterolemic effect of dietary chitosan in cholesterol metabolism.

The results of this study indicated that the fat‐binding and water‐holding capacity of chitosan might decrease body weight by reducing the absorption of cholesterol and fat, subsequently increasing total fecal weight, fecal fat excretion and fecal water excretion.

It is suggested that a low content of dietary chitosan improved growth performance, and this may be attributed due to the presence of hypertrophied villi and epithelial cells.

The results suggest that the metabolism of cholesterol and of bile acids in dams and their offspring respond differently to cholesterol intake, with a pronounced increase in the pool of β-muricholic acid and a relative decrease in the lithocholic acid concentration in pregnant rats.

The data suggest that chitosan is as effective as cholestyramine in its acute effects on lipid absorption and that, with chronic feeding, both materials cause equivalent adaptive changes in intestinal transport of administered fatty acid and cholesterol.

There seems to be a general pathway for the metabolism of bile acids irrespective of the species, i.e. the formation of a trihydroxycholanic acid in the liver by degradation of cholesterol, elimination of the hydroxyl at C-7 of this acid, and in some cases hydroxymation by liver enzymes of the deoxycholic acid formed.

Young adult rats were fed ad libitum on defined diets containing either no fiber, 10% levels of insoluble fiber sources [cellulose, wheat bran, alfalfa, mixed fibers] or 2% cholestyramine (Questran), a bile acid sequestrant, which resulted in significant dilution of total fecal steroids.
