Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of 100% orange juice on short-term food intake (FI), satiety, post-prandial glycemia and mood in healthy adults. We hypothesize that the consumption of 100% orange juice in the pre-meal environment will improve satiety signals and mood, and suppress FI through its effect on post-prandial glycemia.
The aim of this project is to investigate the effect of erythritol (given as pre-load), compared to sucrose, sucralose, and water on energy intake during a subsequent ad libitum test meal in healthy participants. Furthermore, the release of GI hormones, glycemic control, appetite-related sensations, GI tolerance, sweetness and liking in response to the pre-loads will be investigated.
Pulse flours represent a fast-growing segment on the functional food market; however, their health effects are not well understood. The observational studies and acute trials have established the link between frequent consumption of cooked whole pulses (beans, peas, lentils and chickpeas) and healthier body weight and improved blood glucose control. However, it is not clear whether these effects still remain after the processing of pulses into flours. The investigators hypothesized that the baked food products formulated with lentil flour of the same particle size as all-purpose wheat flour may reduce postprandial glycaemia and elicit a stronger suppression of subjective appetite due to its higher content of protein and resistant carbohydrate compared to all-purpose wheat flour. The treatments will be formulated either with lentil flour or with all-purpose wheat flour of similar particle size or with their combination. The objective of the project is to test the effect of foods formulated with lentil flour and/or wheat flour on blood glucose, short-term food intake and subjective appetite.
A diet rich in whole grains has been linked to multiple beneficial health outcomes, including cardiovascular health, weight loss and a decreased risk of acquiring type 2 diabetes. However, grain products vary due to their botanical origin, composition, and post-harvest processing. While wheat is considered a dominant grain crop in Canada, the minor crops, including gluten-free buckwheat, become popular alternatives to wheat products such as couscous. Both buckwheat groats and couscous are traditionally consumed in the form of the porridge or side dish, however, their acute effects on satiety and food intake remain unknown. The objective of this study is to investigate the short-term effects of couscous and buckwheat on satiety and short-term food intake in young adult males.
This study assesses the acute effects of a standardized 20-minute vaping episode compared to a non-vaping control condition on ad libitum food intake during a 30-minute buffet meal, occurring approximately 45 minutes after the vaping episode
Prebiotics and probiotics are thought to play a role in appetite control and body weight regulation; but little is known about this topic. This study was planned to examine the effects of inulin and Lactobacillus casei 431 on short and long term fasting, satiety, dietary intake, and serum hunger and satiety hormone levels. The study consisted of 2 phases. In the first phase, a double-blind, randomized, crossover study design was used, and it was performed with 16 healthy male participants aged 19-30 years. In this phase, the prebiotic (200mL milk+16g inulin), probiotic (200mL milk + Lactobacillus casei 431 [>106 cfu/mL]+16g maltodextrin), synbiotic (200mL milk+16g inulin + Lactobacillus casei 431 [>106 cfu/mL]) and control (200mL milk+16g maltodextrin) test drinks were consumed with a standard breakfast on four separate test days by one week intervals, and their effects on dietary intake, hunger, satiety and appetite were assessed. The second phase was performed with 21 healthy male participants aged 19-30 years, using a placebo-controlled double-blind, randomized study design. Participants consumed the control (200mL milk+16g maltodextrin) or synbiotic (200mL milk+16g inulin+ Lactobacillus casei [>106 cfu/mL]) test drinks for 21 days with their habitual diet. At the beginning and end of the intervention, blood samples were collected at 0., 30., 60. and 120. minutes following the test day protocol to analyse serum glucose, insulin, ghrelin, obestatin and PYY (peptide tyrosine tyrosine) levels. In addition, dietary intake, hunger, satiety and appetite of participants were compared.
Participants will be given a drink (and no drink for one of the treatments) prior to a pizza dinner. Ratings on satiety, appetite and desire to eat will be asked with the use of a questionnaire. Blood glucose will also be measured. One hour after the drink, participants will be given a pizza and can eat as much as they want. The pizza remaining will be weighed.
This research study will evaluate changes in resting metabolic rate, appetite, and heart rate variability following overnight exposure (8 h/night) to normobaric hypoxia (NH) or normobaric normoxic (NN). In randomized order, participants will sleep one night in NH conditions (~15% oxygen; achieved with nitrogen dilution, equivalent to ~8500 feet elevation) and another night in NN (control) conditions (~20% oxygen; achieved with nitrogen dilution, equivalent to ~1000 feet elevation).
This study evaluates the satiating effect of two types of food supplements made from various types of fibres in the subsequent intake of other foods, in satiety, and in the regulation of hormones
Legumes are rich source of proteins and dietary fibers which are associated with satiety and amelioration of postprandial glycemic response. The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of cereal-based products fortified with legumes on appetite regulation and body weight management.
