1. Introduction Obesity is a complex metabolic condition thought to result from an imbalance in energy intake and energy expenditure that results in excess fat accumulation in various adipose tissues and organs. It has been proposed that managing the dietary composition may be an efficient way to

This randomized, two-period crossover study will include one screening/baseline visit (visit 1) and two 24-h treatment periods (treatment period 1: visits 2 and 3 and treatment period 2: visits 4 and 5). A minimum 7-d washout will occur between the treatment periods.

Cardiovascular disease is a major public health concern in the United States, where it accounts for 1 in 4 deaths every year. Vascular endothelial dysfunction is an early event leading to cardiovascular disease and can be caused by postprandial hyperglycemia. Cardiovascular disease is also

This study will utilize a randomized, double-blind, cross-over design, comparing acute ingestion of the mixed flavonoid supplement (MF) compared to placebo control (PC) in healthy, non-obese, pre-menopausal women. The study will consist of two 24-hour study periods spent in the recently renovated

The metabolic demands created by endurance activities, which include muscle and liver glycogen depletion as well as losses in body fluids and electrolytes, are significant limitations to the performance potential of the athlete. For this reason, a well-supported recommendation exists for such

The purpose of this study is to determine: 1) how the gut bacteria of exclusively breastfed infants changes in response to ingesting solid foods; 2) how infant cognition develops in response to ingesting solid foods; and 3) the relationship between infant gut bacteria and infant cognition during the

Preclinical data obtained using an Caco-2 intestinal cell model and enzyme assays suggest phenolic-rich potato extracts decrease intestinal glucose transport. The aim is to determine if these effects extend to the the an in vivo situation. Specifically, the glycemic response following consumption of

Background For individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) the current gold standard to evaluate the carbohydrate (CHO) amount of a meal is by carefully weighing its different components and calculating the CHO content using reference nutritional tables. The resulting CHO amount is then used to define

A randomized, controlled, cross-over study designed to examine the PPGR to peas will be conducted at the I.H. Asper Clinical Research Institute in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The study will be divided into 2 groups of 24 healthy volunteers each. In Group 1, eligible participants who have provided consent

The prevalence of childhood obesity and overweight has become a major health concern worldwide. Prevention of overweight and obesity in children is a high priority because they are at high risk of becoming obese adults and obesity is predictive of the development of coronary heart disease,

Eligible participants will undergo a total of 6 study visits. During each visit, a fasted blood sample will be taken by fingerprick, and approximately 500µL of blood will be dripped into a collection tube. The participant will then consume a meal of either: white bread, white rice (or white potato),

The purpose of this study is to (i) evaluate the acute effects of the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, sitagliptin (100mg once daily for two days), on gastric emptying, postprandial plasma glucose, insulin, glucagon and 'incretin' hormones (ie. glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and

The proposed study is a single-center, placebo-controlled, randomized, 2-arm, 2-sequence, crossover study that characterizes the bioavailability and kinetic profile of potatoes over 6-hour postprandial day (PPD). A planned sample size of 12 will be enrolled into the study. This study will require
