The effects of fiber ingestion on the incorporation of oleic acid into triglyceride and lecithin, acetate incorporation into cholesterol, and monosaccharide and amino acid transport were determined in rat intestine. Prolonged pectin (10% by weight) ingestion caused a decrease in jejunal and ileal cholesterol synthesis (33% and 52%, respectively). Pectin ingestion reduced cholesterol synthesis by 60% in ileal crypt cells, but did not affect cholesterol synthesis in the jejunal or ileal villus cells or in jejunal crypt cells. Cholesterol synthesis in isolated crypt cells was markedly less than in isolated villus cells. Prolonged ingestion of a fiber-free diet supplemented with either cellulose or pectin (10% and 5% by weight, respectively) decreased jejunal lecithin glucose and leucine absorption but did not affect jejunal triglyceride synthesis.
