The carbohydrate content in different foods may have different effects on postprandial blood glucose. Study was conducted to compare the glycemic effect of 50g carbohydrate in fruits (watermelon, Persian melon, grapes and pears) in normal, IGT and diabetic subjects. Thirty two subjects, 12 NIDDM, 12 IGT and 8 normals, with a mean age of 53±7 years were randomly selected. The subjects came to Va...

One way to view Theorem 1.1 is as a statement that the algebraic structure of a finitely generated profinite group somehow also encodes the topological structure. That is, if one wishes to know the open subgroups of a profinite group G, a topological property, one must only consider the subgroups of G of finite index, an algebraic property. As profinite groups are compact topological spaces, an...

We associate a contractible “outer space” to any free product of groups G = G1∗· · ·∗Gq . It equals Culler-Vogtmann space when every Gi is Z, McCulloughMiller space when no Gi is Z. Our proof of contractibility is based on Skora’s idea of deforming morphisms between trees. Using the action of Out(G) on this space, we show that Out(G) has finite virtual cohomological dimension, or is VFL (it has...

BACKGROUND Developmental stuttering is a pathology which begins during childhood. during the phase of language acquisition and development and is characterized as being chronic. AIM To verify the influence of typology and grammatical classes on the occurrence of speech disruptions of stuttering and fluent children. METHOD Participants of this study were 80 children, with ages between 4.0 an...

BACKGROUND Blood glucose monitoring is an important component of diabetes self-management for individuals with insulin-treated diabetes. Although patient-maintained logbooks are routinely used, glucose values may be inaccurately recorded or not recorded at all. Electronic logbooks may help overcome such problems. We conducted a randomized, controlled trial (RCT) to compare glycemic control in i...

VOL. 23 / NO. 1 / SPRING 2013 3 Since the introduction of the GI Bill in 1944, college has been part of the American dream, in large part because it is viewed as a ticket to economic security. Currently, about 21 million individuals attend a postsecondary institution, and the vast majority of high school students aspire to earn a bachelor’s degree or higher.1 While the popular image of college ...

Diets with high glycemic index and glycemic load have been associated with insulin resistance. Insulin resistance has been implicated in the etiology of pancreatic cancer. We prospectively investigated the associations between glycemic index, carbohydrates, glycemic load, and available carbohydrates dietary constituents (starch and simple sugar) intake and the risk of pancreatic cancer. We foll...

Different starchy foods produce different glycemic responses when fed individually, and there is some evidence that this also applies in the context of the mixed meal. A major reason appears to relate to the rate at which the foods are digested and the factors influencing this. A similar ranking in terms of glycemic response to specific foods is seen independent of the carbohydrate tolerance st...

BACKGROUND Much uncertainty exists about the role of dietary glycemic index and glycemic load in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus, especially in populations that traditionally subsist on a diet high in carbohydrates. METHODS We observed a cohort of 64,227 Chinese women with no history of diabetes or other chronic disease at baseline for 4.6 years. In-person interviews were conducte...

Increased interest in glycemic response derives from its linkage with chronic diseases, including obesity and type 2 diabetes. Our objective was to develop an in vitro method that predicts glycemic response. We proposed a simulated gastrointestinal digestion protocol that uses the concentration of dialyzable glucose (glucose in the soluble low molecular weight fraction of digests) as an index f...
