Abstract
A fat-free diet (FFD) reduces bacterial flora when compared to a regular diet (RD) in rats. FFD reduces the degree of incidence of indomethacin-induced intestinal ulceration concomitantly with a reduction in bacterial flora overgrowth produced by the drug. Diminished deconjugation of indomethacin and reduction of intestinal flora overgrowth play a major role in the ulcer-preventing properties of FFD.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
