Addition of purified fiber to carbohydrate test meals has been shown to flatten the glycemic response in both normal and diabetic volunteers, reduce the insulin requirement in patients on the artificial pancreas and in the longer term reduce urinary glucose loss and improve diabetes control. In the context of high fiber-high carbohydrate diets these findings have had a major impact in influencing recommendations for the dietary management of diabetes internationally. The mechanism of action appears in part to be due to the effect of fiber in slowing absorption rather than by increasing colonic losses of carbohydrate. Consequently postprandial GIP and insulin levels are reduced and the more viscous purified fibers (e.g., guar and pectin) appear most effective. In addition it has been suggested that colonic fermentation products of fiber may enhance glucose utilization. More recently it has become clear that many aspects of carbohydrate foods (food form, antinutrients, etc.) in addition to fiber may influence the rate of digestion and has led to a classification especially of starchy foods in terms of glycemic index to define the degree to which equicarbohydrate portions of different foods raise the blood glucose. Use of such data may maximize the effectiveness of high carbohydrate and high fiber diets in the management of diabetes and related disorders. 相似文献

The Glycemic Index (GI) is a rating system that ranks carbohydrate-containing foods according to their postprandial blood glucose response relative to the same quantity of available carbohydrate of a standard such as white bread or glucose. The concept of GI was first introduced in the early 80's by Jenkins and coworkers. Since then, numerous trials have been undertaken, many indicating benefits of a low GI diet on glycemic control, as well as lipid profiles, insulin and C-peptide levels, inflammatory and thrombolytic factors, endothelial function and regulation of body weight. As a result, a low-GI diet may prevent or delay the vascular complications of diabetes. However, despite many studies supporting the benefits of the Glycemic Index as part of the treatment of diabetes mellitus, several areas of controversy have been raised in the literature and are addressed here. Clinicians treating diabetic patients should be aware of the potential benefits of low-GI foods in the prevention and treatment of diabetes and its complications. 相似文献

There is a large variation in caloric intake and macronutrient preference between individuals and between ethnic groups, and these food intake patterns show a strong heritability. The transition to new food sources during the agriculture revolution around 11,000 years ago probably created selective pressure and shaped the genome of modern humans. One major player in energy homeostasis is the appetite-stimulating hormone neuropeptide Y, in which the stimulatory capacity may be mediated by the neuropeptide Y receptors 1, 2 and 5 (NPY1R, NPY2R and NPY5R). We assess association between variants in the NPY1R, NPY2R and NPY5R genes and nutrient intake in a cross-sectional, single-center study of 400 men aged 40 to 80 years, and we examine whether genomic regions containing these genes show signatures of recent selection in 270 HapMap individuals (90 Africans, 90 Asians, and 90 Caucasians) and in 846 Dutch bloodbank controls. Our results show that derived alleles in NPY1R and NPY5R are associated with lower carbohydrate intake, mainly because of a lower consumption of mono- and disaccharides. We also show that carriers of these derived alleles, on average, consume meals with a lower glycemic index and glycemic load and have higher alcohol consumption. One of these variants shows the hallmark of recent selection in Europe. Our data suggest that lower carbohydrate intake, consuming meals with a low glycemic index and glycemic load, and/or higher alcohol consumption, gave a survival advantage in Europeans since the agricultural revolution. This advantage could lie in overall health benefits, because lower carbohydrate intake, consuming meals with a low GI and GL, and/or higher alcohol consumption, are known to be associated with a lower risk of chronic diseases. 相似文献

Glycemic index, postprandial glycemia and cardiovascular disease 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Several lines of evidence indicate that exaggerated postprandial glycemia puts individuals without diabetes at greater risk of developing cardiovascular disease. In large, prospective observational studies, including meta-analyses, higher 120 min post-load blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin (a measure of average blood glucose level over time) independently predict cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in individuals without diabetes. These findings imply that the glycemic nature of dietary carbohydrates may also be relevant. We aim to provide a clearer perspective on how the glycemic impact of carbohydrates may modulate development of cardiovascular disease. RECENT FINDINGS: In ecological studies, average dietary glycemic index (a measure of the postprandial glycemic potential of carbohydrates) and glycemic load (average glycemic index x amount of carbohydrate) predicts coronary infarct and cardiovascular disease risk factors, including HDL cholesterol, triglycerides and C-reactive protein. In short-term intervention studies of overweight and hyperlipidemic patients, low glycemic index diets lead to improvements in cardiovascular disease risk factors, including reduced LDL cholesterol and improved insulin sensitivity, as well as greater body fat loss on energy-restricted diets. Molecular studies indicate that physiological hyperglycemia induces overproduction of superoxide by the mitochondrial electron-transport chain, resulting in inflammatory responses and endothelial dysfunction. SUMMARY: Taken together, the findings suggest that conventional high-carbohydrate diets with their high glycemic index may be suboptimal, particularly in insulin-resistant individuals. Because around one in four adults has impairments in postprandial glucose regulation, the glycemic potential of carbohydrates warrants further investigation in cardiovascular disease prevention. 相似文献

Recent dietary guidelines advocate increased starch intake, but it is not clear as to how the increased intake of starch should be achieved. Recent data suggest that the quality of starch as well as its quantity is important in determining the biological effects of high carbohydrate diets. The quality of starchy foods can be assessed by their rates of digestion, which in turn are related to their glycaemic responses. Many factors affect the rate of digestion of foods and these are probably related to alterations in the chemical structure or nature of the starch. The incorporation of slowly digested, low glycaemic index foods into the diets of healthy subjects and individuals with diabetes and hyperlipidaemia is associated with the predicted reductions in postprandial glycaemic responses and with reductions in insulin secretion and blood lipids. In the past, the aim of starch processing has been to increase digestibility and improve absorption. However, it is now suggested that the use of more slowly digested starchy foods may have positive health benefits. 相似文献

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of an acute exercise bout in the morning in the post‐absorptive or postprandial state on the glycemic and insulinemic response to three standardized meals throughout the day. It is hypothesized that post‐absorptive exercise enhances fat oxidation rate during exercise and thereafter attenuates the glucose and insulin response to subsequent meals. Research Methods and Procedures: Seven sedentary males with metabolic syndrome (age, 45 ± 11 years; BMI, 34 ± 3 kg/m2) were studied in a crossover design comparing three conditions: no exercise, postprandial and post‐absorptive exercise (at ~60% of the individual V?O2max for 45 minutes). Substrate use was evaluated by indirect calorimetry during exercise. Venous blood samples were taken at regular (30‐ to 60‐minute) intervals throughout the day, and glucose, insulin, and triglyceride concentrations were determined. Results: During exercise, a higher fat oxidation rate was observed in the post‐absorptive than the postprandial state. The glycemic response to a standardized high‐carbohydrate breakfast was lower when exercising after breakfast than when exercising before breakfast. There was no effect of either exercise mode on glucose and insulin response to lunch and supper. Discussion: Post‐absorptive exercise has the advantage of promoting fat use, whereas postprandial exercise can attenuate the glycemic response to breakfast. Neither exercise mode acutely induces improved glucoregulation later during the day. The impact of meal timing on the effects of regular exercise training on glycemic control in this population remains to be studied. 相似文献

Several theories have arisen to explain postprandial sleepiness. Of these, the most prevalent theory assumes that blood flow is redistributed after a meal. This premise fails, however, because cardiac regulation strictly controls cerebral blood flow (CBF) and brain oxygenation. Another theory proposes that an elevated ratio of free l-tryptophan to large neutral amino acids (LNAA) in the blood increases cerebral serotonin (5HT) levels, which in turn induces drowsiness. But this theory does not explain why fatty meals, which reduce extracellular 5HT, induce more intense sleepiness than meals of carbohydrates, or why protein-rich meals, which actually lower cerebral 5HT, do not differ significantly from carbohydrate meals in promoting sleep. Some studies fail to confirm the presumptive role of 5HT in mood or drowsiness. Reviewing the history of theory and experimentation in this field, we conclude that 5HT is not the principal determinant in postprandial sleepiness. We propose instead that the arcuate nucleus (ARC) modulates satiety in response to metabolic indicators of energy state, postprandial neuropeptide secretion from the gut, and vagus nerve stimulation. The ARC integrates these satiety signals and forwards them to the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), which indirectly stimulates the sleep centers (i.e., the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus (VLPO) and median preoptic nucleus (MnPO)) by inhibiting the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA), which coordinates arousal centers. Neuropeptides or satiety signals may activate sleep centers directly to provoke postprandial somnolence. This model may resolve contradictions and inconsistencies in data that previous theories could not explain. 相似文献

Previously, we have demonstrated the effects of exogenously administered opiates on somatostatin release in dogs and therefore the present study was designed to determine the effect of endogenous opiates via naloxone-induced opiate receptor blockade on somatostatin release. Additionally, plasma insulin and pancreatic polypeptide (PP) levels were determined in response to intragastrically instilled protein, carbohydrate and fat test meals in a group of eight conscious dogs. To all test meals either naloxone (4 mg) or saline was added. The rise of plasma somatostatin levels in response to liver extract, sucrose and fat was attenuated significantly by naloxone. Naloxone had no effect on the rise of postprandial plasma insulin and PP levels. The present data demonstrate that endogenous opiates have a stimulatory effect on postprandial somatostatin release in dogs which indicates a tight interaction that might be of relevance for nutrient homeostasis. 相似文献

In children and adolescents from developed countries, obesity prevalence has strongly increased in the last decades and insulin resistance and impaired glucose tolerance are frequently observed. Some dietary components such as low glycemic index foods and dietary fibre could be used in order to improve glucose homeostasis in these children. Psyllium or ispaghula husk (the husk of the seeds of Plantago ovata) is a mixture of neutral and acid polysaccharides containing galacturonic acid with a ratio of soluble/insoluble fibre of 70/30. Some foods could potentially be enriched with psyllium, like breads, breakfast cereals, pasta and snack foods. The aim of this review was to assess the usefulness of psyllium in the management of obese children and adolescents with abnormalities of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. After psyllium supplementation, the percentage change in postprandial glucose in type 2 diabetes patients, ranged from -12.2 to -20.2%. In hypercholesterolemic children, the effect of psyllium in LDL-cholesterol serum concentrations ranged from 2.78 to -22.8%; the effect in HDL-cholesterol from -4.16 to 3.05%; and the effect on triglycerides from 8.49 to -19.54%. The reviewed evidence seems to show that psyllium improves glucose homeostasis and the lipid and lipoprotein profile; however, more well controlled trials and further studies are needed to clarify it's effects and the mechanisms involved. 相似文献

Viscous and nonviscous fibres, nonabsorbable and low glycaemic index carbohydrates, blood lipids and coronary heart disease 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Jenkins DJ Kendall CW Axelsen M Augustin LS Vuksan V 《Current opinion in lipidology》2000,11(1):49-56
Viscous fibres such as guar, glucomannans, pectins, oat betaglucan and psyllium continue to be seen as hypocholesterolaemic. Nevertheless, in large cohort studies, ironically it is the insoluble cereal fibre that has been demonstrated to relate negatively to cardiovascular disease and diabetes, despite an absence of effect on fasting lipids or postprandial glycaemia. In general, resistant or nonabsorbable starch is lipid neutral, whereas some nonabsorbable sugars or oligosaccharides may raise serum cholesterol, possibly through providing more acetate after colonic fermentation by colonic microflora. On the other hand, fructo-oligosaccharides appear to reduce serum triglycerides for reasons that are not entirely clear. Of possibly greater recent interest have been the carbohydrates that are not so much resistant to absorption, but rather are slowly absorbed. They possess some of the features of dietary fibre in providing a substrate for colonic bacterial fermentation. In the small intestine, however, they form lente or sustained release carbohydrate. In the form of low glycaemic index foods, lente carbohydrate consumption has been shown to relate to improved blood lipid profiles in hyperlipidaemic individuals and improved glycaemic control in diabetes. In larger cohort studies, low glycaemic index foods or low glycaemic load diets have been associated with higher HDL-cholesterol levels and reduced incidence of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. 相似文献

The present study was designed to determine the role of carbohydrates during naloxone-induced opiate receptor blockade upon the postprandial rise of plasma somatostatin (SLI), insulin and pancreatic polypeptide (PP) levels in response to protein and fat test meals in conscious dogs. Test meals consisting of 50 g liver extract + 50 g sucrose or 50 g corn oil + 50 g sucrose dissolved in 300 ml water were instilled intragastrically, respectively. Additionally, liver extract and fat meals were given with a concomitant intravenous infusion of glucose. To all test meals either naloxone (4 mg) or saline was added. The addition of sucrose to liver extract or the infusion of i.v. glucose during the liver meal abolished the inhibitory effect of naloxone on the rise of postprandial somatostatin levels which has been described recently. The addition of carbohydrate either orally or intravenously to the fat meal resulted in an even stimulatory effect of naloxone upon the rise of postprandial somatostatin levels. Insulin levels were not changed during liver extract + sucrose or i.v. glucose, respectively. When sucrose or i.v. glucose was administered together with the fat meal the addition of naloxone augmented postprandial insulin secretion. Pancreatic polypeptide (PP) release was augmented during the combination of sucrose or i.v. glucose with the fat and liver meal when naloxone was present in the meals. The present data demonstrate that the addition of carbohydrates either orally or intravenously to fat and protein meals modulates the effect of endogenous opiates in the regulation of postprandial somatostatin, insulin and pancreatic polypeptide release in dogs in a way that carbohydrates induce inhibitory mechanisms that are mediated via endogenous opiate receptors. 相似文献

Wholemeal versus wholegrain breads: proportion of whole or cracked grain and the glycaemic response.
D. J. Jenkins V. Wesson T. M. Wolever A. L. Jenkins J. Kalmusky S. Guidici A. Csima R. G. Josse G. S. Wong 《BMJ (Clinical research ed.)》1988,297(6654):958-960
STUDY OBJECTIVE--To determine the effect on the glycaemic response to bread of the ratio of whole cereal grains to milled flour. DESIGN--Randomised assignment of groups of diabetic volunteers to test and control meals, taken after an overnight fast. Test foods were also analysed for in vitro digestion with human saliva. SETTING--Tertiary care centre. PATIENTS--Groups of six drawn from pool of 16 volunteers with diabetes mellitus (11 men, five women; mean age 64 (SE 3); 10 taking insulin, five taking oral agents, one controlled by diet; other characteristics comparable). INTERVENTIONS--All patients took standard white bread control meals on three occasions spanning the study and on different mornings took test meals containing varying ratios of whole cereal grains (barley or cracked wheat) to milled flour (75:25, 50:50, 0:100). All meals contained 50 g available carbohydrate and were eaten in 15 minutes. Capillary blood samples were taken for determination of glucose concentrations every 30 minutes for three hours. END POINT--Glycaemic index of foods (= increase in area under blood glucose concentration curve for test food divided by increase in area under curve for white bread control X 100). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS--Significant trend to lower glycaemic index with increasing proportion of whole cereal grains in test bread (p less than 0.05) and lower in vitro digestibility (p less than 0.001). Breads containing up to 75% whole grain were considered palatable. CONCLUSIONS--Breads containing a high proportion of whole cereal grains may be useful in reducing the postprandial blood glucose profile in diabetics because they are more slowly digested. These breads should be called "wholegrain" in distinction to "wholemeal" breads made from milled flour. 相似文献

Objective : Satiety plays an important role in weight control. The meaning of fasting hormone levels and satiety feelings, and how post-absorptive changes after meals high in carbohydrate regulate appetite remains to be demonstrated. Research Methods and Procedures : Prospective metabolic study with 25 non-diabetic obese women at the Energy Metabolism Research Unit of the Department of Nutrition Sciences, University of Alabama at Birmingham. We analyzed fasting and postprandial ratings of hunger-satiety and values of various metabolic parameters (serum glucose and insulin, plasma cholecystokinin, respiratory quotient) during controlled weight loss. The postprandial measures were assessed following a test meal providing 320 kcal and yielding a food quotient of 0.89. Results : In the fasting state, there was no correlation between hunger-satiety ratings and any of the measured metabolic parameters. Under postprandial conditions, satiety was positively related to glucose (p = 0.002) and insulin (p = 0.002) responses to the test meal. In multivariate analysis including glucose, insulin, cholecystokinin, hunger-satiety ratings and respiratory quotient, insulin was the only independent predictor of satiety in the postprandial state. Discussion : These data suggest an association between the endogenous insulin response and feelings of postprandial satiety. Insulin's satiation properties, which could well be mediated by other hormones, may represent a primary factor of food intake regulation after meals relatively high in carbohydrate. 相似文献

Although high protein and low glycemic index (GI) foods are thought to promote satiety, little is known about the effects of GI, protein, and their interaction on hunger and energy intake several hours following a mixed meal. This study investigated the long term effects of GI, protein, and their combined effects on glucose, insulin, hunger, and energy intake in healthy, sedentary, overweight, and obese adults (BMI of 30.9 ± 3.7 kg/m2). Sixteen individuals participated separately in four testing sessions after an overnight fast. The majority (75%) were non‐Hispanic Blacks. Each consumed one of four breakfast meals (high GI/low protein, high GI/high protein, low GI/low protein, low GI/high protein) in random order. Visual analog scales (VAS) and blood samples were taken at baseline, 15 min, and at 30 min intervals over 4 h following the meal. After 4 h, participants were given the opportunity to consume food ad libitum from a buffet style lunch. Meals containing low GI foods produced a smaller glucose (P < 0.002) and insulin (P = 0.0001) response than meals containing high GI foods. No main effects for protein or interactions between GI and protein were observed in glucose or insulin responses, respectively. The four meals had no differential effect on observed energy intake or self‐reported hunger, satiety, and prospective energy intake. Low GI meals produced the smallest postprandial increases in glucose and insulin. There were no effects for GI, protein, or their interaction on appetite or energy intake 4 h after breakfast. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: The risk of cardiovascular complication in a diabetes patient is similar to that in a nondiabetic patient with a history of myocardial infarction. Although intensive control of glycemia achieved by conventional antidiabetic agents decreases microvascular complications such as retinopathy and nephropathy, no marked effect has been reported on macrovascular complications or all-cause mortality. Evidence from VADT, ACCORD, and ADVANCE would suggest that glycemic control has little effect on macrovascular outcomes. Moreover, in the case of ACCORD, intensive glycemic control may be associated with an increased risk of mortality. There is sufficient evidence that suggests that postprandial hyperglycemia may be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease in diabetes patients. However, there are no prospective clinical trials supporting the recommendation that lowering postprandial blood glucose leads to lower risk of cardiovascular outcomes. Mitiglinide is a short-acting insulinotropic agent used in type 2 diabetes treatment. It has a rapid stimulatory effect on insulin secretion and reduces postprandial plasma glucose level in patients with type 2 diabetes. Because of its short action time, it is unlikely to exert adverse effects related to hypoglycemia early in the morning and between meals. Mitiglinide reduces excess oxidative stress and inflammation, plays a cardioprotective role, and improves postprandial metabolic disorders. Moreover, mitiglinide add-on therapy with pioglitazone favorably affects the vascular endothelial function in type 2 diabetes patients. These data suggest that mitiglinide plays a potentially beneficial role in the improvement of postprandial hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes patients and can be used to prevent cardiovascular diseases. Although the results of long-term, randomized, placebo-controlled trials for determining the cardiovascular effects of mitiglinide on clinical outcomes are awaited, this review is aimed at summarizing substantial insights into this topic. 相似文献

Understanding the impact of rheological properties of food on postprandial appetite and glycemic response helps to design novel functional products. It has been shown that solid foods have a stronger satiating effect than their liquid equivalent. However, whether a subtle change in viscosity of a semi-solid food would have a similar effect on appetite is unknown. Fifteen healthy males participated in the randomized cross-over study. Each participant consumed a 1690 kJ portion of a standard viscosity (SV) and a high viscosity (HV) semi-solid meal with 1000 mg acetaminophen in two separate sessions. At regular intervals during the three hours following the meal, subjective appetite ratings were measured and blood samples collected. The plasma samples were assayed for insulin, glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP), glucose and acetaminophen. After three hours, the participants were provided with an ad libitum pasta meal. Compared with the SV meal, HV was consumed at a slower eating rate (P = 0.020), with postprandial hunger and desire to eat being lower (P = 0.019 and P<0.001 respectively) while fullness was higher (P<0.001). In addition, consuming the HV resulted in lower plasma concentration of GIP (P<0.001), higher plasma concentration of glucose (P<0.001) and delayed gastric emptying as revealed by the acetaminophen absorption test (P<0.001). However, there was no effect of food viscosity on insulin or food intake at the subsequent meal. In conclusion, increasing the viscosity of a semi-solid food modulates glycemic response and suppresses postprandial satiety, although the effect may be short-lived. A slower eating rate and a delayed gastric emptying rate can partly explain for the stronger satiating properties of high viscous semi-solid foods. 相似文献

Fructose is one of the most abundant monosaccharide in nature. It is also the sweetest naturally occurring carbohydrate. Since
decades, fructose used for food preparations is not provided by fruit or vegetable but by a chemical process of starch or
inulin conversion. We processed a new method of fructose extraction from apple and investigated the acute and long term effect
of this carbohydrate on glucose metabolism in C57Bl6/j mice. By using the glycemic index (GI), we have shown that one of the
sugars obtained from apple, FructiLight, has a very low impact on glycemic and insulin response during acute treatment compared
to other sugars. This carbohydrate, essentially constituted by fructose, has also beneficial properties when administrated
for long term treatment. Indeed, as two other sugars extracted from apple (FructiSweetApple and FructiSweet67), FructiLight
exposure during 21 weeks in beverage has promoted an enhancement of glucose tolerance compared to glucose treatment without
affecting food intake and weight. All these results indicate that apple-extracted sugars and more precisely fructose from
these fruits could be a promising way to produce new food and sweet beverages. 相似文献

Diabetes constitutes an increasingly prevalent disease, dramatically associated with an enhanced mortality risk in the developed world. A high prevalence of diabetes has recently been described at Réunion Island, a French department located in the Indian Ocean. At the University of La Réunion, a laboratory course involving students was designed to teach them blood glucose measurements and to examine the influence of food intake on their glycemic response. Using glucose meters, test strips, lancet devices, and sterile lancets, students determined their basal and postprandial glycemia. After plotting the variation over time of their glycemia, students calculated their glycemic response to a meal as the area under the curve. First, students observed that their glycemia had increased rapidly after food intake to values of <1.4 g/l and then decreased to normal values, proving the existence of a physiological regulatory system for glycemia. Using impedance balances, students then determined their body mass index and fat mass percentages. Positive and significant correlations were established between students' fat mass percentages and the glycemic response to the meal. A higher postprandial response was indeed noticed for students having higher fat percentages. Therefore, this laboratory allows students to observe the regulation of glycemia. It also alerts them to the correlation between higher body fat content and a higher glycemic response, which can be related to diabetic disorders. This laboratory constitutes an active illustration of their plenary lesson in endocrinology and particularly for the session dealing with glucose regulation. 相似文献

The present study was designed to determine the effect of naloxone, a specific opiate receptor antagonist, on postprandial levels of insulin, glucagon, pancreatic polypeptide (PP), somatostatin-like immunoreactivity (SLI) and gastrin in response to carbohydrate and fat-rich test meals in a group of 6 healthy volunteers. The addition of naloxone to a meal consisting of 50 g sucrose dissolved in 200 ml water augmented the rise of plasma insulin levels significantly during the first 30 min after its ingestion and reduced the decrease of plasma glucagon. During the ingestion of a fat-rich meal in form of 200 ml cream naloxone reduced the rise in plasma insulin and pancreatic polypeptide and elevated glucagon levels during the last 30 min of the experimental period. When sucrose was dissolved in 200 ml cream the addition of naloxone augmented the postprandial rise of insulin levels between 15 and 60 min after ingestion of the meal and elicited an increase of plasma SLI and PP levels throughout the entire experimental period which indicates that post-prandial levels of insulin, glucagon, PP and SLI are modulated via endogenous opiate receptors during the ingestion of carbohydrate and fat test meals and that this effect depends on the composition of the ingested nutrients. These data raise the possibility that endogenous opiates participate in the regulation of postprandial insulin, glucagon, somatostatin and pancreatic polypeptide release not only in certain disease states as demonstrated recently for insulin secretion in type II diabetes mellitus but endogenous opiates may also be of importance under physiological conditions. 相似文献
