Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research project is to assess the glycaemic controlling effects of consuming BSG and bio-transformed BSG-containing biscuits and its underlying gut - related mechanism in adults with MetS using in-vivo setting.

Description:

This is a double-blind, randomised, parallel experiment, all subjects (38 adults in Singapore with MetS) will complete a 12-week intervention period. Subjects will be randomly assigned to consume their habitual diet with biscuit that either does not contain or contains autoclaved BSG or bio-transformed BSG for 12 weeks. Throughout the intervention, subjects will be assessed for glucose, insulin, lipid and amino acid responses, biomarkers of gut health, and as well as other markers of health.
