Effects of Bran Size on Glycemic Responses

Summary

This study investigated the effects of bran's particle size on glycemic responses

Conditions

• Potential Abnormality of Glucose Tolerance
• Appetitive Behavior

Interventions

OTHER

Glucose as reference food

Ten subjects (male: 7, female: 3) consumed 50g glucose diluted in 250ml water, tested three times, in different weeks, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120min.

OTHER

White bread as reference food

Ten subjects (male: 7, female: 3) consumed 50g available carbohydrates from white bread along with 250ml water, tested twice, in different weeks, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120min.

OTHER

Bread enriched with coarse wheat bran

Ten subjects (male: 7, female: 3) consumed 50g available carbohydrates from bread enriched with coarse wheat bran along with 250ml water, tested once, in different weeks, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.

OTHER

Bread enriched with fine wheat bran

Ten subjects (male: 7, female: 3) consumed 50g available carbohydrates from bread enriched with fine wheat bran (obtained by milling of the coarse bran) along with 250ml water, tested once, in different weeks, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.

OTHER

Bread enriched with fine wheat bran and carob seed flour

Ten subjects (male: 7, female: 3) consumed 50g available carbohydrates from bread enriched with fine wheat bran (obtained by milling of the coarse bran) in which 10% of the flour was substituted with carob seed flour (CSFB) along with 250ml water, tested once, in different weeks, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.
