• We reported in the previous paper that rats fed a curdlan diet showed significant increases in the weight of the cecum and its contents, a decrease in fecal wet weight, a retardation in the transit time of the gastrointestinal tract, and morphological changes of the ileal and cecal mucosal surface when compared with the rats fed a cellulose diet. In the present study, we intended to learn if the curdlan effects on the mor-phological structure of intestinal mucosa were reversible. When rats were fed on the curdlan diet for 2 weeks followed by a cellulose diet for another 2 weeks, the cecum and cecal contents were not different from those of the cellulose group. The transit time of the gastrointestinal tract of the curdlan followed-by-cellulose group was shorter than that of the curdlan group, whereas it was longer than that of the cellulose group. In scanning electron micrographs, the ileal villi of the curdlan followed-by-cellulose group were normal, as in the cellulose group. However, their ileal and cecal microvilli were similar to those of the curdlan group, that is, the microvilli were crowded and more tightly packed, and some ap-peared to have been squeezed out. From these results, it was concluded that the effects of the curdlan feeding were only partially reversible, but the effects on the surface structure of intestinal mucosa were still sus-tained even after curdlan feeding of 2 weeks was discontinued. This might result from response to the high viscosity of the intestinal contents remaining after discontinuation of the curdlan.
