Summary : Previously, the physiological effects of dietary fiber in the small intestine have been discussed mainly on the basis of the interaction of dietary fiber with simultaneously ingested nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract, and only a limited number of studies have focused on events in the gastrointestinal tract itself. This review covers the results of analyses of small-intestinal goblet cell responses and mucin secretion during dietary fiber intake, based mainly on the bulk and viscosity of the dietary fiber. Mucin from the small intestine acts as an endogenous fiber that underpins the symbiotic relationship between the host and intestinal bacteria via short-chain fatty acids, a metabolic product of fermentation. Finally, the validity of the current Prosky digestion-based dietary fiber quantification method to estimate the gastrointestinal kinetics of resistant starch and diges-tion-resistant dextrin derivatives is discussed. These have recently attracted attention as new dietary fiber mate-rials in addition to classic dietary fibers derived from plant cell walls.

Summary : Brown adipose tissue ( BAT ) is a site responsible for non-shivering thermogenesis during cold exposure, contributing to the control of body temperature and adiposity. In humans, although a decrease of BAT activity with aging is associated with the development of obesity, chronic activation of BAT through repeated cold exposure can re-activate BAT, thereby decreasing body fat mass. To explore practical anti-obesity strate-gies that could be an alternative to cold exposure, we focused on food ingredients exerting agonistic activity against temperature-sensitive TRP channels. We then investigated the thermogenic effects of non-pungent capsaicin analogs ( capsinoids ) and green tea catechins, both of which can stimulate temperature-responsive TRP channels, and their relationship to BAT activity in healthy volunteers. We found that single ingestion of capsinoids or catechins significantly increased energy expenditure in subjects with active BAT, but not in those with-out. Moreover, repeated ingestion of these substances increased BAT-dependent thermogenic capacity even in individuals who had lost their BAT activity, suggesting successful recruitment of BAT. Additionally, through comprehensive analysis of circulating metabolites in mice and humans, we searched for new nutritional factors for control of BAT function and identified branched-chain amino acids as a key energy substrate for BAT thermogenesis. These our findings support the development of practical, efficient dietary regimens capable of boosting BAT thermogenesis and preventing lifestyle-related diseases.

Summary : The effects of fiber intake from cereals, specifically barley and wholegrain wheat, on obesity parameters were investigated through human intervention studies. A series of experimental animal studies were also performed to investigate the mechanism responsible for the anti-obesity effects of barley. Our human intervention studies have revealed some evidence of effects such as: (1) suppression of the postprandial rise in blood glucose level ( rice with barley and wholegrain wheat bread ) ; (2) the maintenance of satiety ( foods containing barley ) ; (3) reduction of abdominal fat ( rice with barley and wholegrain wheat bread ) ; and (4) modifica-tion of gut microbiota ( wheat bran and foods containing barley ) . Animal experiments have shown that both high- and low-molecular-weight barley β -glucans have anti-obesity effects. However, the former is due mainly to inhibition of dietary lipid absorption as a result of viscosity, and the latter to the action of short-chain fatty acids through intestinal fermentation. It was confirmed that the improvement of glucose intolerance resulting from intake of barley flour was attributable to an increase of short-chain fatty acids as a result of intestinal fermentation, thus increasing the secretion of glucagon-like peptide- 1 ( GLP- 1) .

Summary : Skeletal muscle is the largest organ in the human body, playing important roles in exercise, energy expenditure and glucose/amino acid metabolism. Appropriate exercise coupled with sufficient nutrition increases muscle mass. In contrast, bedrest, aging, cancer, and other diseases lead to muscle atrophy, thus de-creasing energy expenditure ( leading to obesity ) and glucose uptake, increasing the blood glucose level ( re-sulting in diabetes ) and reducing the quality of life. We have been investigating the role of a transcription factor, FOXO 1
