| Popis: | Metabolic responses to barley (Hordeum vulgare) were studied in six healthy human subjects (five male, one female). The trial comprised two dietary periods, control and experimental, of four weeks each, separated by a washout period of one week. The control diet was one to which the subject was normally accustomed. In the experimental diet, part of the daily cereal intake was replaced by 100 g of whole barley flour. The control and experimental dietary periods were random in sequence and a cross-over design was used. A meal tolerance test using a 50g carbohydrate portion of white bread was performed at the beginning and end of each dietary period. Fasting blood samples were collected for estimation of glycosylated haemoglobin, total cholesterol and triglycerides at the beginning and end of each dietary period. No measured variable changed significantly during the control period. At the end of the experimental period, the MTT incremental area under the 3h glucose curve decreased from 107.9 ± 54.8 to 91.5 ±... |
