Background: Consumption of a diet with a low glycemic index (GI) rich in dietary fiber can help for the management of postprandial blood glucose (PBG) level in normal subjects. Incorporation of whole grain barley rich in β-glucan, fenugreek and ginger as part of a balanced diet offers a variety of health benefits. The purpose of the present work was to evaluate the effect of bread products cont...

The glycemic index (GI) of dietary carbohydrates influences glycogen storage in skeletal muscle and circulating nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations. We hypothesized that diets differing only in GI would alter intramuscular lipid oxidation and glycogen usage in skeletal muscle and liver during subsequent exercise. Endurance-trained individuals (n = 9) cycled for 90 min at 70% Vo(2peak...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Epidemiological and clinical studies suggest that low-glycemic index diets could protect against weight gain. However, the relationship between these diets and adipokines or inflammatory markers is unclear. In the present study we examine how the dietary glycemic index (GI) and dietary glycemic load (GL) are associated with several adipokines and related metabolic risk marke...

BACKGROUND Replacing carbohydrate with protein acutely increases glomerular filtration rate (GFR) but is associated with faster, long-term kidney disease progression. The effects of carbohydrate type (i.e. glycemic index, GI) on kidney function are unknown. METHODS We conducted an ancillary study of a randomized, crossover feeding trial in overweight/obese adults without diabetes or kidney di...

BACKGROUND Weight regain after weight loss is a common problem for all those obese or overweight who have had a recent weight loss. Different cures such as diet therapy, behavioral therapy, exercise or a mixture of them have been advised as solutions. The purpose of this review is to find the best diet or eating pattern to maintain a recent weight loss. MATERIALS AND METHODS WE SEARCHED IN PU...

INTRODUCTION Carbohydrates are an important component of diets and food supplies throughout the world. They are involved in physiologic, sensory, textural, and physicochemical roles. Carbohydrates are typically classified into 3 principal groups based on degree of polymerization (DP): sugars (monosaccharides and disaccharides), oligosaccharides (DP: 3–9), and polysaccharides (DP > 10). During d...

BACKGROUND The increasing prevalence of diabetes in the United Kingdom and worldwide calls for new approaches to its management, and diets with low glycaemic index have been proposed as a useful means for managing glucose response. However, there are conflicting reports and differences in the results of studies in terms of their effectiveness. Furthermore, the impact of low-glycaemic index diet...

Glycemic index (GI) and insulin index (II) scores of six cereal-based foods (biscuits and shortbreads) were determined and the relationship between the glycemic and insulin responses of the foods was examined. The study was conducted using recommended by FAO/WHO methodology using glucose as a standard food. We obtained a range of GI scores from 49 to 68% and II scores from 51 to 75%. The test f...

From 7.0% in 2007, to 6.9% 2013, 8.5% 2018, and even 21.3 million 2030, the frequency of people with diabetes mellitus increases by 5.7% annually. In order create mixed cookies a low glycemic index that panelists prefer, this research mixes suweg flour arrowroot flour. procedure, prepared unprepared treatments are both used. Chemical properties (moisture content, protein total sugar starch cont...
