The Glycemic Response Elicited by Beta-glucans of Different Physical Properties and Form

NCT01610518 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 15

Summary

The ability of oat β-glucan to lower postprandial glycemic responses has been attributed to the viscosity of the solution in which the fibre is solubilized. To our knowledge, no studies have investigated the effect of β-glucan solutions on glycemic response when concentration, and thus viscosity, is varied by changing the solution volume but not the β-glucan dose. Therefore, the investigators will test the effects of altering β-glucan solution viscosity by altering solution volume at a fixed amount of β-glucan fibre.

Conditions

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

oat beta-glucan

4g dose for each arm of trial. Form (volume and viscosity) varies between arms. 2h acute trial beginning between 8 and 10 am. Minimum 1 day wash out between arms.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Placebo

Control without beta-glucan. Form (volume) varies between arms. 2h acute trial beginning between 8 and 10 am. Minimum 1 day wash out between arms.
