Rats chronically ingesting pectin and gums (such as guar and arabic) generally had a reduced cecal pH,
increased cecal wall size and produced increased amounts of volatile fatty acids in the cecum (Demigné et al. 1989, Seal and Mathers 1989, Tulung et al. 1987).
In Study 2, rats fed fermentable RS had
increased cecal weights and plasma PYY and GLP - 1, and increased gene transcription of PYY and proglucagon.

In their new paper in Journal of Immunology, Mandy Ford, Craig Coopersmith and colleagues show that 2B4 levels are
increased on certain types of T cells (CD4 + memory cells) in human sepsis patients and in a mouse model of sepsis called CLP (
cecal ligation + puncture).
In Study 3, RS - fed rats had
increased short - chain fatty acids in
cecal contents, plasma PYY (GLP - 1 not measured), and gene transcription for PYY and proglucagon.
Schulz et al. (1993) found that although ingestion of both types of resistant starch lowered the
cecal pH and
increased the calcium concentrations in the liquid phase of the
cecal contents, only ingestion of the native resistant starch lowered the ileal pH and
increased the calcium and magnesium concentrations in the liquid phase of the ileal contents.
