The aim of this study was to evaluate the glycemic index and peak incremental indices of six popular fruits in Taiwan, comparing healthy subjects (n = 20) and patients with Type 2 diabetes (n = 17). The six kinds of fruits tested were grapes, Asian pears, guavas, golden kiwifruit, lychees and bananas. Glycemic index values were tested according to the standard glycemic index testing protocol. T...

Most data regarding the association between glycemic index and cardiovascular disease come from high-income Western populations, with little information non-Western countries low or middle incomes. To fill this gap, are needed a large, geographically diverse population.

Let G = ∗ i=1 Gi and let φ be a symmetric endomorphism of G. If φ is a monomorphism or if G is a finitely generated residually finite group, then the fixed subgroup Fix(φ) = {g ∈ G : φ(g) = g} of φ has Kurosh rank at most n.

I am a second year Nutrition student and have a question about protein and endurance athletes. Why are their protein requirements greater than they are for resistance athletes? Is it because the muscle glycogen stores get depleted over a long period of time with intense exercise? If so, should they consume more carbohydrates than resistance athletes, with a low glycemic index prior to their wor...

Proposition. Let G be a group and (Gi, i ∈ I) a family of subgroups of G. If (i) for each i, j ∈ I there exists k ∈ I with 〈Gi, Gj〉 ≤ Gk, and (ii) Gi is simple for all i ∈ I, then H = ⋃ i∈I Gi is a simple subgroup of G. Proof. Choose i, j ∈ I. Observe that (ii) implies Gi, Gj 6= ∅ because the definition of a simple group excludes this possibility. Clearly, Gi is a group and a subset of 〈Gi, Gj〉...

BACKGROUND Certain types of carbohydrates increase glucose and insulin levels to a greater extent than others. In turn, insulin may raise levels of insulin-like growth factors, which may influence breast cancer risk. We analyzed the effect of type and amount of carbohydrates on breast cancer risk, using the glycemic index and the glycemic load measures in a large case-control study conducted in...

Case-control studies and a cohort study have shown inconsistent associations between a high glycemic index or a high glycemic load and risk of colorectal cancer. These dietary variables have not been examined in relation to risk of colorectal adenoma. We thus examined the associations between dietary glycemic index, glycemic load, and carbohydrate intake with risk of adenoma of the distal colon...

IMPORTANCE Foods that have similar carbohydrate content can differ in the amount they raise blood glucose. The effects of this property, called the glycemic index, on risk factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes are not well understood. OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of glycemic index and amount of total dietary carbohydrate on risk factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. ...
