Previous reports have demonstrated that noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus often is associated with hypertriglyceridemia linked to hyperinsulinemia and enhanced cholesterogenesis. Studies with single meals have indicated that rice as compared to potato results in a less pronounced blood glucose
Antidiabetic effects of white skinned sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) (WSSP) and troglitazone, an insulin sensitizer, were investigated. Hyperinsulinemia in Zucker fatty rats was reduced by 23%, 26%, 60% and 50%, respectively, 3, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after starting the oral administration of WSSP.
BACKGROUND
Growth in normal and malignant tissues has been linked to hyperinsulinemia and insulin-like growth factors (IGFs). We hypothesized that IGF and IGF-binding protein (IGFBP) responses may be acutely affected by differences in the glycemic index (GI) of foods.
OBJECTIVE
We compared the
Low glycemic index (GI) foods may confer an advantage when eaten before prolonged strenuous exercise by providing a slow-release source of glucose to the blood without an accompanying insulin surge. To test this hypothesis, eight trained cyclists pedalled to exhaustion one hour after ingestion of
