Abstract
The effects of drinking deaerated water on serum biochemical values, a nd on the concentrations of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) derived fr om bacterial fermentation in the colon were examined in rats. Drinking deaearted water decreased the levels of serum alkaline phosphatase (S AP) and serum urea nitrogen (SUN), and increased the serum potassium ( SK) and serum phosphorus (SP) levels. Although the concentration of pr opionic acid in the cecum was decreased by drinking deaerated water, t he concentrations of isobutyric, valeric, and isovaleric acids in the cecum were increased.
