“…There was a significant reduction in homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) scores and a significant increase in the area under the curve (AUC) for non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) in the study group [ 209 ]. In addition, anthocyanins in black rice extract and β-glucan from oats influenced the inhibition of starch-digesting enzymes and lowered the glycaemic index of cooked white rice [ 223 ]. In contrast, Kolehmainen et al [ 224 ] did not observe a beneficial effect of the addition of bioactive compounds on lowering serum glucose.…”

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a significant health problem. The co-occurrence of obesity, carbohydrate metabolism disorders, hypertension and atherogenic dyslipidaemia is estimated to affect 20–30% of adults worldwide. Researchers are seeking solutions to prevent and treat the conditions related to MetS. Preventive medicine, which focuses on modifiable cardiovascular risk factors, including diet, plays a special role. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables has documented health benefits, mainly due to the polyphenolic compounds it contains. Anthocyanins represent a major group of polyphenols; they exhibit anti-atherosclerotic, antihypertensive, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities, as well as beneficial effects on endothelial function and oxidative stress. This review presents recent reports on the mechanisms involved in the protective effects of anthocyanins on the body, especially among people with MetS. It includes epidemiological data, in vivo and in vitro preclinical studies and clinical observational studies. Anthocyanins are effective, widely available compounds that can be used in both the prevention and treatment of MetS and its complications. Increased consumption of anthocyanin-rich foods may contribute to the maintenance of normal body weight and modulation of the lipid profile in adults. However, further investigation is needed to confirm the beneficial effects of anthocyanins on serum glucose levels, improvement in insulin sensitivity and reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Determining the glycaemic responses of foods: conventional and emerging approaches

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A low-glycemic diet is crucial for those with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Information on the glycemic index (GI) of different ingredients can help in designing novel food products for such target groups. This is because of the intricate dependency of material source, composition, food structure, and processing conditions, among other factors, on the glycemic responses. Different approaches have been used to predict the GI of foods, certain discrepancies exist because of factors including the inter-individual variation among human subjects. Besides other aspects, it is important to understand the mechanism of food digestion because an approach to predict GI must essentially mimic the complex processes in the human gastrointestinal tract. The focus of this work is to review the advances in various approaches for predicting the glycemic responses of foods. This has been explained by detailing conventional approaches, their merits and limitations, and the need to focus on emerging approaches. Given the fact that no single approach can be generalized for all applications, the review emphasizes the scope of deriving insights for improvements in methodologies. Reviewing the conventional and emerging approaches for the determination of GI in foods, this detailed work is intended to serve as a state-of-the-art resource for food and nutritionists who work on developing low GI foods.
