To Compare the Effects of Non-nutritive Sweeteners Intake in Woman With Insulin Resistance

Summary

ABSTRACT

Introduction: There is no current data about the effects of non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) about important factors, such as the energy intake, appetite and its relationship in people with insulin resistance when tasting sweet. It is highly relevant to compare the effects of NNS intake, such as, stevia (steviol glycosides) and D-tagatose, previous to a 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) on glycaemic and C-peptide responses in women with insulin resistance.

Objective: To compare the effects of non-nutritive sweeteners intake: stevia (steviol glyco-sides) and sucralose previous to OGTT on appetite, glycemia and C-peptide plasmatic concentrations in women with insulin resistance.

Methods: Thirty-three women with T2DM were studied in 3 different moments and they received 3 treatments: pre-load of water or D-tagatose or stevia and then offered to consume a 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test. Blood samples were obtained to measure the dependent variables, glycemic at times -10, 0, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 minutes and C-peptide at times -10, 30, 90, 120 and 180 minutes. The analogue visual scale questionnaires (VAS) was conducted every 30 minutes in order to obtain the results of the depend variables: appetite and wish of specific type of food in a subjective way; appetite, satiety, relax, wish to eat any food, craving for something sweet, craving for something salty, something tasty, something fatty. Through food provided ad libi-tum (objective appetite), were obtained the results of: energy, carbohydrates, proteins and lipid intakes. The statistical analysis applied included the Shapiro-Wilk's Normality test, repeated measures ANOVA to assess differences among treatments, Friedman's test followed by Wilcoxon test corrected by Bonferroni as needed. The degree of association between variables was conducted using the Pearson's or Spearman's correlation coefficient tests, as requested. A probability value p \<0.05 was considered significant.

Conditions

• Insulin Resistance
• Hyperinsulinism

Interventions

OTHER

Intervention ingest a 5000 mg of D-tagatose

Woman with resistance insulin who ingest a 5000 mg of D-tagatose. D-tagatose is a sweetener of natural origin, low in calories (1.5 kcal / g) and with a sweetness power of 0.9. About 20 to 25% of the ingested D-tagatose is absorbed and metabolized in the liver, the rest is fermented by the microbiota producing short chain fatty acids.

OTHER

Intervention ingest a 15,3 mg of stevia

Woman with resistance insulin who ingest a 15,3 mg of stevia (steviol glycosides). The word "stevia" refers to the whole plant of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni (SRB), only some of the components of the stevia leaf are sweet. Steviol glycosides are up to 300 times sweeter than sucrose, do not provide calories and can be used as a substitute for sucrose or as a non-nutritive sweetener alternative. Your allowable daily intake is 4 mg / kg / body weight (expressed as steviol)
