Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to clarify that hydrogen, which is produced by the bacterial flora in the colon when dietary fibers are ingested, contributes to the reduction of oxidative stress in the brain. In this study, rats fed with fructo-oligosaccharides were used as a model for colon hydrogen production. We used the animal as a model of traumatic brain injury to observe changes in the activity of microglia and astrocytes in the brain. In addition, we analyzed the qualitative and quantitative conditions of dietary fiber with the aim of preventing the development of brain diseases.
