Gum arabic administered to men for 3 wk has little effect on glucose tolerance and stool weight, but decreases the serum cholesterol. There was no significant increase in fecal bile acids and neutral sterols. Breath hydrogen increased only after chronic administration. Gum arabic could not be recovered from the stool which suggests metabolism of gum arabic in the colon.
给男性服用阿拉伯树胶3周，对葡萄糖耐量和粪便重量影响不大，但可降低血清胆固醇。粪便胆汁酸和中性固醇没有显著增加。只有长期服用后呼出气中的氢气才会增加。在粪便中未检测到阿拉伯树胶，这表明阿拉伯树胶在结肠中发生了代谢。
