Postprandial high glucose and insulin responses after starchy food consumption, associated with an increased risk of developing several metabolic diseases, could possibly be improved by altering food structure. We investigated the influence of a compact food structure; different wheat products with a …

IN BRIEF The introduction of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) several years ago enabled researchers to investigate the impact of exercise strategies on 24-hour glycemic control. Such unique information on the glucoregulatory properties of exercise will ultimately lead to more effective exercise programs …

Green tea, particularly epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), may affect body weight and composition, possibly by enhancing fat oxidation. The aim of this double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled cross-over study was to investigate whether 3-day supplementation with EGCG (282 mg/day) stimulates fat oxidation …

Dietary nitrate (NO3(-)) supplementation has been proposed as an emerging treatment strategy for type 2 diabetes. We hypothesized that ingestion of a single bolus of dietary NO3(-) ingestion improves oral glucose tolerance in patients with type 2 diabetes. Seventeen men with type 2 diabetes (glycated …

BACKGROUND: Frailty is often associated with multimorbidity and disability. OBJECTIVES: We investigated heterogeneity in the frail older population by characterizing five subpopulations according to quantitative biological markers, multimorbidity and disability, and examined their association with mortality …

Dietary fibers are at the forefront of nutritional research because they positively contribute to human health. Much of our processed foods contain, however, only small quantities of dietary fiber, because their addition often negatively affects the taste, texture, and mouth feel. There is thus an urge …

Obesitas bij adolescenten geeft naast sociale en emotionele gevolgen ook een groter risico op medische complicaties zoals onder andere glucose-intolerantie. Recent is onderzocht of het multidisciplinaire groepsprogramma Go4it beter werkt dan de reguliere zorg voor obese adolescenten in de leeftijd van …

Bij fructose-intolerantie wordt fructose niet goed door het lichaam opgenomen, als gevolg hiervan kan je gastro-intestinale symptomen en klachten ontwikkelen. De huidige behandeling van patiënten met fructose-intolerantie bestaat uit een fructosebeperkt of Fermentable Oligo-Di-Monosaccharides and Polyols …

Background: Glucocorticoids are potent anti-inflammatory agents used for the treatment of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, inflammatory bowel disease and psoriasis. Unfortunately, usage is limited because of metabolic side-effects, e.g. insulin resistance, glucose intolerance and diabetes. …
