Moreover , subgroup analyses suggested that the effects of glycemic control were significantly influenced by the sex of the subjects and the type and the method of intake of ITF .
Conclusions Our analyses confirmed that these four main glycemic indicators were significantly reduced by ITF supplementation , particularly in the prediabetes and T2DM population .
Evidence supports that reasonable administration of ITF supplementation may have potential clinical value as an adjuvant therapy for prediabetes and T2DM management .
Background Currently , many clinical trials have shown that inulin-type fructans ( ITF ) supplementation is associated with glycemic control ; nevertheless , the results are inconclusive .
The aim of this meta- analysis of r and omized controlled trials was to assess the effects of ITF supplementation on glycemic control .
Double blind randomized clinical trial controlled by placebo with a fos enriched cookie on saciety and cardiovascular risk factors in obese patients.
INTRODUCTION It is essential to determine which snack foods are most affective for appetite control . The objective of the current study was to assess the responses of two different cookies on satiety and cardiovascular risk factors . MATERIAL AND METHODS 38 patients were r and omized : group I ( FOS enriched cookie , n=19 ) and group II ( control cookie , n=19 ) . Previous and after 1 month , the subjects rated their feelings of satiety/hunger with a test meal of 5 cookies . RESULTS After the test meal , the basal area under curve of the first hunger/satiety score was higher with satiety cookie than with control cookie , the data after 1 month of treatment was higher with satiety cookie than with control cookie , too . The score was higher than the fasting level for 20 minutes with satiety cookie and for 40 minutes with the same cookie , too . In satiety group , these scores ( 20 min and 40 min ) were higher than control group before and after 1 month of treatment . The results were in the same way with the 100 mm 5-point visual satiety scale . Cardiovascular risk factors and dietary intake remained unchanged after dietary intervention . CONCLUSION A FOS enriched cookie produced greater ratings of satiety than a control cookie , without effects on cardiovascular risk factors or dietary intakes
Moreover , subgroup analyses suggested that the effects of glycemic control were significantly influenced by the sex of the subjects and the type and the method of intake of ITF .
