Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate whether berries are effective in lowering blood glucose and insulin responses to meals containing starch or sucrose.
The objective of the study is to compare subjective appetite ratings and after-meal and 24 hour blood glucose levels within overweight and obese female subjects consuming either a standardized 3 day low calorie diet supplemented with a viscous fibre known as PGX (treatment) or a rice flour (placebo control). Each treatment phase will be 3 days in length and separated by 3 week washout phase, so subjects will also be acting as their own control. Subjects will be randomized to either start with the low calorie diet with PGX or the low calorie diet supplemented with rice flour. We hypothesize that the 3 day LCD with PGX will elicit an improved appetite score compared to the 3 day LCD supplemented with the rice flour placebo control.
Reductions of postprandial glucose levels have been demonstrated previously with the addition of a novel viscous polysaccharide (NVP) to a glucose drink and standard white bread. This study explores whether these reductions are sustained when NVP is added to a range of commonly consumed foods.
To determine palatability and extent to which escalating doses of a novel highly viscous polysaccharide [NVP] reduces postprandial glycemia when added to a liquid and a solid meal.
