Protective effect of soluble fiber from <i>Undaria pinnatifida</i> on vascular endothelium in hypercholesterolemic rabbits
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Dietary fiber could improve endothelial function and abnormal production of nitric oxide (NO) and elevated endothelin-1 (ET-1) concentration induce endothelial dysfunction. In the present study, we tested the effect of soluble fiber extracted from Undaria pinnatifida (UP) on endothelial function and NO and ET-1 production in hypercholesterolemic rabbits. After treatment with UP soluble fiber (5 or 10%) for 8 wk, endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation in isolated aortic rings, the concentrations of NO and ET-1 and malondialdehyde (MDA), and the expression of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) gene were measured. The UP soluble fiber (5 or 10%) treatment significantly attenuated the impairment of endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation concomitantly with increase of plasma NO concentration and expression of aortic endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), reduction of plasma MDA level and ET-1 concentration and aortic ET-1 concentration. The present study indicates that the protective effects of UP soluble fiber on endothelium-mediated vasorelaxation may be related to an improved NO production and a reduced ET-1 concentration in hypercholesterolemic rabbits.Key words: Undaria pinnatifida, soluble fiber, endothelium, nitric oxide, endothelin-1, rabbit

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
