Abstract
Feeding isolated dietary fibre from unripe banana to rats has been fou nd to have significant effect on the carbohydrate components of glycop roteins in the liver. Many of the carbohydrate components of glycoprot eins showed increases in rats fed fibres due to resultant decrease in the activity of glycohydrolases. In vitro inhibition of glycohydrolase activity by bile acids is known in most cases and thus, explains the in vivo effect observed in the present studies.
