An ionic-gelling alginate drink attenuates postprandial glycaemia in males

Obese individuals are at increased risk of type 2 diabetes compared to their healthy weight counterparts. Dietary fibre, such as alginate, could attenuate glycaemic disturbances associated with obesity when included in the diet.Forty self-reported, healthy males completed this randomised, single-bli...

Zusammenfassung:Obese individuals are at increased risk of type 2 diabetes compared to their healthy weight counterparts. Dietary fibre, such as alginate, could attenuate glycaemic disturbances associated with obesity when included in the diet.Forty self-reported, healthy males completed this randomised, single-blinded, controlled, parallel trial to determine the glycaemic response to a controlled test-lunch of mixed composition following an ionic-gelling alginate preload drink compared to an acidic-gelling control.Individual baseline area under the curve was 52% lower (p = 0.010) and peak glycaemia was 14% lower (p
