β¦ Synopsis
The disaccharide lactulosc (/?-D-galactopyranosyl-( l-4)-D-fructofuranose) is thought to be poorly hydrol i d by intestinal enzymes but is broken down by microorganisms in the colon. Thus lactulose shares with pectin similar characteristics [I]. Lactulose is used in the food industry and in the treatment of constipation.
There is preliminary evidence that dietary lactulose (5%, w/w) causes increased conantrations of serum and h e r cholesterol in rats when compared with pectin [2]. This paper describes dose-response relatioriships between dietary lactulose and cholesterol in either serum or liver.
