Glycemic Response of Sorghum

Summary

Given the interest in gluten-free foods and discovering dietary means to prevent metabolic disorders, this study was designed to determine the glycemic responses of four (4) grains and flours (corn, rice, wheat, and sorghum). The grain products (gruel) will be eaten by subjects and blood glucose will be collected prior to and after eating over the course of two hours. A dextrose solution, dosed to provide a like amount of available carbohydrate, will serve as the control treatment.

Conditions

• Blood Glucose

Interventions

OTHER

Glycemic response of F-1000

The intervention was to determine if different flours elicit similar or different (change from baseline) 2 hour glucose responses (e.g., similar to glycemic index) after eating.

OTHER

Glycemic response to sumac sorghum flour

The intervention was to determine the two hour change from baseline glucose responses (e.g., similar to glycemic index) after consuming sumac sorghum flour as a gruel.

OTHER

Glycemic response to MMR sorghum flour

The intervention was to determine the two hour change from baseline glucose responses (e.g., similar to glycemic index) after consuming MMR sorghum flour as a gruel.

OTHER

Glycemic response to wheat flour

The intervention was to determine the two hour change from baseline glucose responses (e.g., similar to glycemic index) after consuming wheat flour as a gruel.

OTHER

Glycemic response to sucrose

The intervention was to determine the two hour change from baseline glucose responses (e.g., similar to glycemic index) after consuming sugar (dissolved in water)
