Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic effects of a low-glycemic-index diet
David J.A. Jenkins,Thomas M.S. Wolever,G. R. Collier,A Ocana,A.V. Rao,G.C. Buckley,Y Lam,A Mayer,Lilian U. Thompson +8 more
TL;DR: Six healthy male volunteers underwent 2-wk metabolically controlled high-glycemic-index (GI) and low-GI diets in random order and results are of interest with respect to the effect that prolonged postprandial reductions in nutrient fluxes and insulin secretion may have on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and renal function.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of starch-protein interaction in wheat on the glycemic response and rate of in vitro digestion.
TL;DR: Factors associated with unprocessed wheat flour, such as the natural starch-protein interaction, may be important in wheat products in reducing both their rate of absorption and glycemic response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival of microencapsulated bifidobacterium pseudolongum in simulated gastric and intestinal juices
TL;DR: A preliminary procedure for the microencapsulation of bifidobacteria with cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP), using phase separation-coacervation was developed and microbiological analyses indicated that microencapped B. pseudolongum survived the simulated gastric environment in larger numbers than non-encapsulated B. pseudo longum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of processing on digestibility and the blood glucose response: a study of lentils.
David J.A. Jenkins,M.J. Thorne,K Camelon,Alexandra L. Jenkins,A.V. Rao,Rodney H Taylor,Lilian U. Thompson,J Kalmusky,R Reichert,Thomas Francis +9 more
TL;DR: In vitro digestion with human saliva showed the rate of sugars released from the food related positively to the blood glucose rise, highlighting the importance of processing in determining digestibility and hence the glycemic response to a food.
Journal ArticleDOI
Propionate lowers blood glucose and alters lipid metabolism in healthy subjects.
TL;DR: Day-long breath hydrogen concentrations did not increase after 1 wk on propionate bread but methane production increased in the three methane producers, and five subjects showed reduced high-density-lipoprotein and increased triglyceride concentrations, which correlated with increased fecal weight.
