Effects of dietary fibers and cholestyramine on the activity of pancreatic lipase in vitro

D Lairon, H Lafont, JL Vigne, G Nalbone, J Leonardi and JC Hauton

Most experiments were conducted in the presence of human gallbladder bile; colipase and pancreatic lipase were purified using porcine pancreas. The adsorption of bile salts, phospholipids and cholesterol from the bile, together with that of pancreatic lipase was measured on wheat bran, cellulose, hemicellulose (xylan), slightly methylated pectin (42%) and cholestyramine. In contrast to cholestyramine which intensively binds biliary lipids (61.7-81.7%) and pancreatic lipase (47.5%), the fibers studied only had a low adsorbent power. The direct influence of these fibers and of cholestyramine at concentrations ranging from 0-5% on lipase activity was measured at constant pH, using two conventional assay systems, long chain triglycerides and tributyrin. In the presence of human bile and colipase, a drastic reduction in triglyceride hydrolysis by lipase was observed with cholestyramine (loss of 66-82%) and wheat bran (loss of 77-94%) at 1% concentration. The other fibers did not have any marked effects on enzyme activity. The use of a radio labeled lipase made it possible to demonstrate that the inhibitory effect of bran on enzyme activity was independent of adsorption phenomena on bran. The fraction of bran that can be solubilized in the aqueous phase, in fact, induced this reduction in activity. The presence of protein inhibitor in bran may be responsible for the reduction in pancreatic lipase activity.
