| Abstract | We investigated the stimulating effect of rice bran fiber (RBF) on the fecal excretion of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in rats. Increases both in the amount of feces and in the amounts of fecally excreted PCBs were observed in proportion to the amounts of RBF added to the diet. In groups fed a diet of 10% RBF or 5% RBF, total PCBs excreted in the feces were 3.4 and 1.6 times that of the group fed a control diet for 3 weeks, respectively. Excretion rates and amounts in the group fed a 1% RBF diet were not affected in comparison with those of the group fed the control diet. RBF is found to suppress the absorption of the PCBs excreted into the rat intestinal tract, and is found to stimulate the fecal excretion of PCBs. |
