Resumen:
In the last years, dietary fiber has gained attention as a bioactive due to its potential health benefits in reducing the risks for many diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular ones. This effect is linked to its action against inflammation, oxidation, hyperlipidemia and other physiological disorders. The research in this area had been extensive but elucidation of the mechanisms involved in this bioactivity is not yet conclusive. In this chapter, it will be analyzed the actual state of research concerning the effect of dietary fiber on health and the pathways by which this nutrient develops its action.
