Popis: | International audience; Background: 'Slowly digestible' carbohydrates have been claimed to reduce appetite via effects on postprandial glucose and insulin levels, but literature is inconsistent. The inconsistencies between studies might be explained by factors other than glycaemic effects per se, e.g., nutritional or physical properties. We tested this possibility by examining postprandial glucose, insulin and appetite responses to drinks differing only in rate and extent of digestibility of carbohydrates. This was accomplished by comparing different glucose polymers: maltodextrin (rapidly digestible) versus medium-chain pullulan (slowly but completely digestible) versus long-chain pullulan (indigestible). Subjects and Methods: In a randomized double-blind balanced crossover design, 35 subjects received drinks with 15g test carbohydrate polymers. Key outcome measures were appetite scores, digestibility (in vitro test and breath hydrogen), and (in a subset) glucose and insulin levels. Results: Digestibility, glucose and insulin data confirmed the rapid, slow, and non-digestible nature of the test carbohydrates. Despite its low digestibility, only long-chain pullulan reduced appetite versus the maltodextrin control, while the medium-chain pullulan did not. Conclusions: We conclude that glycemic responses per se have minimal effects on appetite, when tested in products only differing in carbohydrate digestibility rate and extent. |
