Conclusions : In summary , the use of ITF may have benefits for LDL-c reduction across all study population s , whereas HDL-c improvement and glucose control were demonstrated only in the T2DM subgroup .
Overall , ITF supplementation may provide a novel direction for improving the lipid profile and glucose metabolism
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
Conclusions : In summary , the use of ITF may have benefits for LDL-c reduction across all study population s , whereas HDL-c improvement and glucose control were demonstrated only in the T2DM subgroup .
Overall , ITF supplementation may provide a novel direction for improving the lipid profile and glucose metabolism
