A diet with a high glycemic index (GI) is associated with an elevated risk for obesity or type 2 diabetes. We investigated the GI of a newly-developed fiber enriched cookie and characterized the microstructure of ingredients used. In a study with 26 non-diabetic healthy volunteers it was shown that the fiber enriched cookie has a GI of 58.9 in relation to white bread as reference. Using a conve...

BACKGROUND Metabolic diseases in China have been on the rise in recent decades, partially due to reduced cereal consumption and excessive intake of low glycemic index (GI) foods such as meat and oil. Although the relationship between dietary glycemic load (GL) and various metabolic diseases has been extensively studied worldwide, it is unclear whether dietary GL is related to blood lipid levels...

BACKGROUND Although the pathogenesis of acne is currently unknown, recent epidemiologic studies of non-Westernized populations suggest that dietary factors, including the glycemic load, may be involved. OBJECTIVE The objective was to determine whether a low-glycemic-load diet improves acne lesion counts in young males. DESIGN Forty-three male acne patients aged 15-25 y were recruited for a ...

OBJECTIVE Diet is the cornerstone treatment of patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), but its role in maternal and newborn outcomes has been scarcely studied. The purpose of this study was to analyze the efficacy of dietary interventions on maternal or newborn outcomes in patients with GDM. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical tr...

Abstract Background Enteral nutrition (EN) is the preferred method to extend nutritional support and mitigate chances of malnutrition in patients who are critically ill. In these patients, risk hyperglycemia high can result poor clinical outcomes delayed recovery. Hence, estimation glycemic index (GI) supplements used EN becomes important reduce all such risks. Objective To estimate GI a supple...

Exposure to high vs. low glycemic index (GI) diets increases fat mass and insulin resistance in obesity-prone C57BL/6J mice. However, the longer-term effects and potentially involved mechanisms are largely unknown. We exposed four groups of male C57BL/6J mice (n = 10 per group) to long-term (20 wk) or short-term (6 wk) isoenergetic and macronutrient matched diets only differing in starch type a...

BACKGROUND The clinical significance of glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) is inconclusive. OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to examine the association of GI and GL with clinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors including body weight, blood pressure (BP), serum lipids, fasting glucose, insulin and homocysteine over time among the PREMIER participants. DESIGN PREMIER was a...
