1.	Chronic Kidney Failure (Chronic Renal Failure) 10/01/2004 - "Three patients referred to our hospital with ESRD during a 3-month period were enrolled in a therapeutic trial to investigate the efficacy of acacia gum (1 g/kg per day in divided doses) as a complementary conservative measure aimed at improving the quality of life. " 10/01/2009 - "However, a 4-year dialysis freedom with improved well-being has been reported in ESRD using a new therapeutic approach combining conservative measures and acacia gum (AG) supplementation. " 01/01/2012 - "Evaluation of the efficacy of ginger, Arabic gum, and Boswellia in acute and chronic renal failure." 01/01/2012 - "This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Zingiber officinale Roscoe (Ginger), Arabic gum (AG), and Boswellia on both acute and chronic renal failure (CRF) and the mechanisms underlying their effects. " 01/10/2008 - "This study aimed at assessing the effect of gum arabic (Acacia senegal) oral treatment on the metabolic profile of chronic renal failure (CRF) patients. "
2.	Body Weight (Weight, Body) 10/01/2011 - "The results of this study show that both blends of gum arabic are able to decrease the caloric intake significantly 3 h after consumption, and increase subjective ratings of feeling satiated, and could therefore be used in a dietary approach to control body weight development." 04/01/2010 - "Swine were injected with gum Arabic stabilized Au nanoparticles (GA-AuNP), up to 85 mg kg(-1) body weight. " 06/01/2004 - "Treatment with gum Arabic at the two doses did not significantly reverse the decrease in body weight in CRF rats." 02/01/1998 - "SAIB, in a gum arabic/water emulsion diluted with orange juice, was ingested once daily, at a dose of 20 mg SAIB/kg body weight in a total volume of 1.16 ml/kg body weight, for a period of 2 wk following a 1-week control period. " 01/01/1981 - "The animals were given PHB 0, 10, 30, 100 or 300 mg/kg body weight as a 3% gum arabic suspension for 13 weeks. "
3.	Diarrhea 08/01/2006 - "The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that, in an animal model of cathartic-induce diarrhea, the previously shown proabsorptive effects of gum arabic (GA) could directly reduce and ameliorate intestinal dysfunction. " 04/01/2013 - "Gum Arabic (GA) is known for its proabsorbent activity in normal intestine as well as in animal models of diarrhea. " 10/01/1999 - "Although all three solutions improved the diarrhea, optimal recovery from diarrhea was achieved with the gum arabic-supplemented oral rehydration solution. " 10/01/1999 - "This report concerns a study of the effectiveness of an oral rehydration solution supplemented with gum arabic, during recovery from chronic osmotic secretory diarrhea in free-living rats. " 10/01/1999 - "The positive effects of the gum arabic-supplemented rehydration solution on fluid and electrolyte absorption seen during jejunal perfusion also occurred during recovery from chronic osmotic secretory diarrhea, when free-living animals drank the solution ad libitum."
4.	Acute Kidney Injury (Acute Renal Failure) 01/01/2004 - "Gum Arabic has recently been claimed to be effective in preventing gentamicin-induced acute renal failure in rats. " 01/01/2003 - "In the present work we assessed the effect of treatment of rats with gum Arabic on acute renal failure induced by gentamicin (GM) nephrotoxicity. "
5.	Insulin Resistance 12/01/2010 - "The chronic ingestion of acacia gum and pectin fibers did not decrease lipolysis but improved fasting endogenous glucose turnover with no effect on peripheral insulin resistance in metabolic syndrome patients." 06/01/1993 - "Glucose infusion rates (GIR) for the gum arabic and chlormethyl cellulose groups were significantly lower than in control rats, and the rates of hepatic glucose output (HGO) of these two groups were not suppressed, indicating the presence of hepatic insulin resistance.
