Further studies on the mechanism of fat-free diet (FFD)--protection against indomethacin-induced intestinal ulcers in the rat. 1985

S Evangelista, and R Ciappi, and C Ortolani, and A Barzanti, and A Meli

A fat-free diet (FFD) reduces bacterial flora when compared to a regular diet (RD) in rats. FFD reduces the degree and incidence of indomethacin-induced intestinal ulceration concomitantly with a reduction in bacterial flora overgrowth produced by the drug. Present and previous findings indicate that diminished deconjugation of indomethacin and reduction of intestinal flora overgrowth play a major role in the ulcer-preventing properties of FFD.
