Brief Summary

Whole grains have been associated with controlled glycemic response and increased satiety compared to refined grains. However, the properties of whole grains which are responsible for these purported improved health outcomes are still unclear. The current study investigated the extent of whole grains' low glycemic property when food properties are controlled, and how this relates to gastric emptying rate and glycemic response.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Gastric emptying

    Breath test was performed using 13C-octanoic acid mixed into test meals

    Acute study, 4 hours measurement after consumption of test food

  • Glycemic response

    Blood glucose was measured using a continuous glucose monitor

    Acute study, 4 hours measurement after consumption of test food

  • Appetitive behavior

    Hunger and fullness scores using a 10 cm scale (0 = weakest feeling of hunger or fullness and 10 = highest feeling of hunger or fullness) will be taken after each meal.

    Acute study, 4 hours measurement after consumption of test food.
