The effects of several sources of dietary fiber on the water and sodium (Na) metabolism of rats were investigated. Wheat bran (D2), pure cellulose (D3), and ground rice straw (D4) replaced corn in the control diet (D1) at the level of 10%: pectin (D5), which was water-soluble, replaced corn at 5% level. In the growth trial with 45 female weanling rats (Sprague Dawley strain), the growth rate of D5 was significantly (p0.05) lower than those of D1 and D2. No difference in growth rate was found among D3, D4 and D5. With regard to water intake of growing rats, there was no difference among all treatments
