effect of a dietary fiber (beet fiber) on dimethylhydrazine-induced colon cancer in wistar rats.the modifying effect of a dietary fiber, fibeta (beet fiber), on experimentally induced colorectal cancer was studied in wistar rats. the rats were fed a powdered semisynthetic casein-based diet in which the carbohydrate pool was substituted with fibeta as the sole source of fiber. dimethylhydrazine dihydrochloride (dmh-2hcl) was used as initiator in a dose of 20 mg/kg body wt and given by gavage once a week for 10 weeks. throughout the experiment the rats were offered the diets with different l ...19921331991
potassium transport into plant vacuoles energized directly by a proton-pumping inorganic pyrophosphatase.potassium is accumulated in plant vacuoles against an inside-positive membrane potential. the mechanism facilitating energized k+ transport has remained obscure. however, electrogenic activity of the inorganic pyrophosphatase (h(+)-ppase) at the vacuolar membrane is dependent on cytoplasmic k+, raising the possibility that the enzyme translocates k+ into the vacuole. membrane currents generated by the h(+)-ppase were measured (using a patch clamp technique) in intact vacuoles isolated from beta ...19921334545
[comparison of some enzymatic methods for dietary fiber determination in foods].comparison of three different enzymatic techniques for dietary fibre determination (hellendoorn, asp, aoac)) in five kinds of food (white bread, rye rolls, white cabbage, carrot and red beet) was the main purpose of this study. it was found that our results obtained by hellendoorn's method are overestimated and therefore are somewhat doubtful. for this reason the aoac method can be recommended as more accurate.19921335163
feeding value of dried sugar beet pulp from egyptian production.dried sugar beet pulp was fed to sheep in mixture with molasses (bpm), molasses plus urea (bpmu) or with hay (bph) in comparison to whole diet of hay (h) in four metabolic trials. there were no significant differences among the four rations although bpmu reflected the highest digestibility of nutrients. the bph had the highest feeding value (total digestible nutrients "tdn" and metabolizable energy) and caused the highest retention of nitrogen. blood profile revealed that there were no significa ...19921338357
