1-Kestose is a non-digestible oligosaccharide consisting of glucose linked to two fructose units. While 1-kestose is not digested in the small intestine of mammals, it is fermented in the ceca and colon, where the growth of bifidobacteria is promoted. In the present study, we assessed the threshold dose of dietary 1-kestose that increased cecal bifidobacterial levels in rats. Rats were fed experimental diets containing 0% to 0.3% 1-kestose for four weeks. The levels of the genus Bifidobacterium and total gut bacteria were significantly increased in cecal samples of rats fed the 0.3% 1-kestose diet. Further, a significant correlation between the dose of 1-kestose and the levels of cecal Bifidobacterium and total gut bacteria was observed. The minimum dose of dietary 1-kestose to induce significant bifidogenic activity in rats was 0.3% by weight in the diet.

The intracellular distribution of desoxyribonucleodepolymerase (DNase) has been investigated in the liver of animals fed p-dimethylaminoazobenzene (DAB), in liver freed from tumor, and in DAB induced tumor. The method is based on the determination of acid soluble material containing phosphorus, liberated by the action of the enzyme upon highly polymerized DNA. Results indicated that the nuclear DNase particularly accounts for a very low percentage of the whole cell activity in normal rat liver, whereas in nuclei of liver of DAB fed rats and of tumor the activity is increased to a high level. These facts suggest a possible correlation between the activity of DNase in the nuclear fraction and the mitotic rate of the tissue.
