Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin

1. A condition that appears to be identical with ‘green yolks’ as observed in natural cases has been reproduced by the oral administration in gelatin capsule of from 250 to 1000 mg. sodium copper chlorophyllin 100% daily for 4 days upwards to Light Sussex hens in second lay.2. Following suitable extraction procedures the presence of a chlorophyll derivative has been determined spectrophotometrically in the affected yolks.3. Quantities of sodium copper chlorophyllin of the order of 1 mg. have been recovered from affected yolks.4. It is considered that the passage of chlorophyll to the yolk indicates that intestinal absorption has occurred.

SummaryThe study of calcium metabolism in ten thalassaemic children comperatively with controls after oral administration of 47Ca has shown diminished intestinal absorption. It is suggested that this finding is propably related in part with the pathogenesis of the osteoporosis in thalassaemia.

SUMMARY The intestinal absorption of calcium has been studied in conscious, unstressed pigs, using a modification of the double isotope technique. The oral administration of betamethasone (1 mg/day) to four pigs (25–33 kg) for 4 weeks reduced the calcium absorption coefficient, calculated after the intravenous and oral administration of 47Ca2+, by a mean value of 66%. The oral administration of 1α-hydroxycholecalciferol (2 μg/day) in combination with betamethasone (1 mg/day) for a further 4 weeks returned the absorption coefficient to the control value.

The work of Dewey (1977), in Australia, showed that the oral administration of cupric oxide wire (CuON), in lengths of between 5-10 mm and a mean diameter of 0.5 mm, at a dosage rate of 10 g in a gelatin capsule to mature sheep, produced a steady increase in liver copper (Cu) concentrations over 16 days to levels over 1000 mg/kg DM above the initial levels. The 'needles' lodged primarily between the abomasal folds and, by 64 days, were no longer detectable. In grazing conditions, a dose of 20 g was administered to sheep. At neither dosage level were deleterious effects noted. Suttle (1981) administered 0.5 g CuON to hypocupraemic ewes maintained on a Cu-deficient diet and alleviated hypocupraemia for 111 days when the diet was supplemented with molybdenum (Mo) and sulphur (S), and 301 days when the diet was not so supplemented.

Bifidobacterium Breve

Polyphenols are plant derived compounds that exert many beneficial health effects to the human host. However, associated health benefits of dietary polyphenol are highly dependent on their intestinal metabolism, bioavailability, and absorption. Bifidobacteria, which represent the key members of gut microbiota, have been suggested to promote gut microbial homeostasis and may be involved in the metabolism of polyphenols. In this study, the capabilities of thirteen Bifidobacterium strains in hydrolysing polyphenol glycosides were evaluated. Among the tested strains, Bifidobacterium breve MCC1274 was found to possess the highest β-glucosidase activity and strong capability to convert daidzin and trans-polydatin to their aglycones; while kinetic analysis revealed that B. breve MCC1274 hydrolysed more than 50% of daidzin and trans-polydatin at less than 3 h of incubation. Further investigation using rats with an antibiotics-disturbed microbiome revealed that following the ingestion of daidzin glycoside, oral administration of B. breve MCC1274 significantly enhanced the plasma concentration of daidzein in rats pre-treated with antibiotics as compared to antibiotics-pre-treated control and non-treated control groups. The relative abundance of Actinobacteria and the total numbers of B. breve were also significantly higher in antibiotics-pre-treated rats administered with B. breve MCC1274 than that of the control groups. These findings suggest that B. breve MCC1274 is effective in enhancing the bioavailability of daidzein in the gut under dysbiosis conditions and may potentially improve intestinal absorption of isoflavones and promote human health.

1. Information was sought concerning the long-term fate of orally and intravenously administered [75Se]selenomethionine and [75Se]selenite in rats.2. Urinary and faecal radioactivity was assayed during the 1st week and whole-body radio-activity was determined weekly for 16 weeks. Rats were killed at intervals for analysis of 75Se tissue distribution.3. Intestinal absorption after oral administration was estimated to be 91–93% for selenite and 95–97% for selenomethionine.4. Urinary excretion of absorbed [75Se]selenite was greater than that of [75Se]selenomethionine during the 1st week.5. After the 1st week, whole-body retention diminished exponentially at a similar rate in rats given either selenomethionine or selenite. Except for the erythrocytes, 75Se content of individual tissues also decreased exponentially.6. It appears that, after an initial period, 75Se from either selenomethionine or selenite is metabolized similarly, suggesting that Se from both potential dietary sources is ultimately incorporated into the same metabolic pool.

Abstract Stroke has always been a disease threatening human life and health worldwide. Here, we synthesized a new type of hyaluronic acid-modified multi-walled carbon nanotube. Then we prepared hydroxysafflor yellow A-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin phospholipid complex water-in-oil nanoemulsion with hyaluronic acid-modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes and chitosan (HC@HMC) for oral treatment of ischemic stroke. First, we measured the intestinal absorption and pharmacokinetics of HC@HMC in rats. We found that the intestinal absorption and the pharmacokinetic behavior of HC@HMC is better than HYA. Then we detected intracerebral concentrations after oral administration of HC@HMC and found that more HYA crossed the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Finally, we evaluated the efficacy of HC@HMC in middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R)-treated mice. In MCAO/R mice, oral administration of HC@HMC demonstrated a significant protection against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI). And we also found HC@HMC may exert a protective effect on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury through COX2/PGD2/DPs pathway. These results suggest that oral administration of HC@HMC may be a new strategy for the treatment of stroke.

Seven normal, young adult, female cats each had its colon evacuated with warm-water enemas (at 24 hours, 12 hours, and one hour) before oral administration of a gelatin capsule containing 20 radiopaque markers to determine normal colonic transit times. Abdominal radiographs were taken twice daily until all markers were expelled. There were no significant differences between animals or trials (p = 0.05 or less). Markers accumulated in the first section of large bowel within eight hours. Evacuation from the colon took another 40 hours. Cecum (right side midline), left side midline, and rectum were defined radiographically. This study establishes large bowel transit times in normal cats and provides the basis for similar evaluation in constipated cats.
