Three groups of Wistar rats were fed a wheat-bran diet of different size particles for each group during three months. Goblet cells and duodenal glands are sated to develop a more intensive mucous secretion in case of coarse bran particles. Mucous composition and the length of the area of the duodenal glands are not influenced by the size of the diet particles. The idea of the goblet cell renewal rate and the diet particle size correlation is suggested.
