NCT ID: NCT06152874 Completed - Glycemic Index Clinical Trials

Glycemic and Insulinemic Response of Durum Wheat Bread

Start date: September 19, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In the last decades, the consumption of energy-dense diets, primarily consisting of highly digestible starchy foods like bread, along with a global increase in obesity rates and a sedentary lifestyle, has emerged as the main contributors to the development of non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and diabetes type 2. Therefore, there is a need to reduce the starch digestibility of bakery products, and in turn their glycemic index, with a specific emphasis on wheat bread. Several strategies have been used to decrease the glycemic index and insulin response of bread; however, most of these techniques have a detrimental effect on the texture, volume, taste, and color of bread, limiting the consumer's acceptability. Preservation of the native microstructure (cell wall integrity) and employing processing techniques to create a macrostructure (protein network and food matrix) can be used to influence the product structure and therefore how the product is chewed (oral processing), and how these factors can affect carbohydrate digestion and glycemic response. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of different textural characteristics of bread on oral processing in relation to the glycemic and insulin response of the three breads. In the present study, a total of 16 healthy volunteers will be recruited, and if eligible (they need to meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria), they will attend an oral processing test on three breads, a test to measure the glycemic index (ISO) and insulin response. The bread sample composition will be as follows: Bread A is made with 95% durum wheat fine semolina (< 400 micrometer) + 5% gluten+ 1.2% yeast + 1% salt + 59% water Bread B is made with 80% durum wheat fine semolina (< 400 micrometer) + 20% gluten+ 1.2% yeast + 1% salt + 59 % water Bread C is made with 80% durum wheat coarse semolina (> 500 micrometer) + 20% gluten+ 1.2% yeast + 1% salt + 59 % water.

NCT ID: NCT05671003 Not yet recruiting - Older Adults Clinical Trials

Oral Processing and Appetite in Older Adults

Start date: January 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The goal of this observational study is to learn about changes in oral processing and appetite in older adults aged 65+ years old. The main question it aims to answer is if oral processing affects gastric emptying in older adults (≥65 years old).

NCT ID: NCT00652405 Completed - Type 2 Diabetes Clinical Trials

Effect of Alcohol on Cephalic Phase Reflex and Gene Expression

AR22
Start date: May 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Moderate alcohol consumption has consistently been associated with lowered risk of developing type two diabetes mellitus compared to abstainers and heavy drinkers. However, the underlying mechanism for the lower risk of type two diabetes is not clear. Hypothesis: moderate alcohol consumption for four weeks changes gene expression pathways of inflammatory status, insulin sensitivity and lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in adipose tissue in both lean and obese postmenopausal women. Hypothesis: Oral sensory stimulation by means of alcohol in the oral cavity will induce a cephalic phase reflex as indicated by increased autonomic & endocrine responses in postmenopausal women.
