Effects of Goat Milk Yogurt on Postprandial Glycemic Responses, Arterial Blood Pressure and Energy Intake

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study investigated any potential associations between two preloads offered as snacks and postprandial glycemic response, subjective appetite and energy intake in healthy, normal weight adults

Detailed Description
-----------------
This study aimed at 1. firstly determine the glycemic index (GI) of a) goat milk yogurt b) goat milk yogurt with currants, c) currants and d) sultanina raisins, all containing 25 gr available carbohydrates and 2. test the hypothesis that a goat milk yogurt consumed as a snack before a meal, compared to milk with lactic acid would: a) have greater short-term effect on satiety measured by subsequent ad libitum meal intake, b) induce greater satiety as assessed by visual analogue scales (VAS) and c) reduce postprandial glycemic response.

Subjective appetite ratings were assessed with 100mm VAS.<br>|

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Capillary blood glucose | Clinically useful change in serum glucose (mg/dL), defined as the restoration of glucose within normal limits during the 2hr glucose tolerance test and for a total of 5 hours | 7 hours | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Subjective appetite ratings | Useful change in subjective appetite (hunger, desire to eat, motivation to eat, preoccupation with thoughts of food, thirst) scores 0 up to 10 from 100mm Visual Analogue Scales | 7 hours | 
| Energy intake after preload | Useful change in energy intake (kcal) the day of the intervention (actual weighing of foods in grams consumed and leftovers using a Kern & Sohn (Germany) food weight scale (Max 3500 g, d=0.01g) and analysis from 24hr recalls using Diet Analysis Software | 6 hours | 
| Arterial blood pressure | Clinically useful change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) before and after consumption of test foods | 7 hours |
