AIMS Low glycaemic index (GI) diets are beneficial in the management of hyperglycemia. Cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of mortality in diabetes therefore it is important to understand the effects of GI on blood lipids. The aim was to systematically review randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of low GI diets on blood lipids. DATA SYNTHESIS We searched OVID Medline, Embase and Cochra...

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...

A recent issue of the British Journal of Nutrition reflects a marked change in the importance we now attach to the role of dietary carbohydrates in both managing and retarding the development of non-communicable diseases, with four commentaries: Choosing your carbohydrates to prevent diabetes (Mathers, 2002); Low carbohydrate does not mean low glycaemic index! (Wolever, 2002); Diet, satiety and...

Abstract Polyols are hydrogenated carbohydrates used as sugar replacers. Interest now arises because of their multiple potential health benefits. They are non-cariogenic (sugar-free tooth-friendly), low-glycaemic (potentially helpful in diabetes and cardiovascular disease), low-energy and low-insulinaemic (potentially helpful in obesity), low-digestible (potentially helpful in the colon), osmot...

Diabetes mellitus and CVD are some of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. Accumulating data indicate that a diet characterised by low-glycaemic index (GI) foods may improve the management of diabetes or lipid profiles. The objective of the present meta-analysis was to critically analyse the scientific evidence that low-GI diets have beneficial effects on carbohydrate and lipid metabo...

The aim of the present study was to examine the combined effects of breakfast glycaemic index (GI) and a mid-morning bout of exercise on adolescents' cognitive function. Participants were randomly allocated to a high or low GI breakfast group in a mixed research design, where each participant completed two experimental trials (exercise and resting). Forty-two adolescents (12.4±0.5 years old), u...

I t is essential that clinicians be aware of expected outcomes from possible nutrition therapy interventions so that they can assist people with diabetes using the best approaches to achieve metabolic goals. Outcomes can be predicted from evidence-based technical reviews or from meta-analyses. Both are now available: the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 2002, Evidence-Based Nutrition Princip...

background: acute upper gi bleeding (ugib) is a common medical emergency situation. in the past years, important changes have taken place that might have influenced the incidence, etiology, and outcome for patients with acute ugib. the aim of this study was to determine current time trends in the incidence, management, and prognosis of patients with ugib in 14 years period in a region in center...

Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is distributed worldwide and causes significant losses in the poultry industry. In recent decades, lineages GI-19 GI-7 have become most prevalent IBV strains China. However, molecular evolution phylodynamics of lineage remain largely unknown. this study, we identified 19 from clinical samples January 2021 to June 2022 China, including 12 GI-19, 3 GI-7, 1 strain...
