Sugar beet fiber in formula diet reduces postprandial blood glucose, serum insulin and serum hydroxyproline

Article Abstract:

The influence of sugar beet fiber in formula diet on blood glucose, serum hydroxyproline and serum insulin was investigated. Fifteen healthy male subjects were given two formula test meals, one with sugar beet fiber and the other without sugar beet fiber. Results showed that the formula diet with sugar beet fiber inhibited the postprandial blood glucose, serum hydroxyproline and serum insulin responses. These findings suggest that sugar beet fiber could prevent hyperglycemia in enteral nutrition if included in therapeutic formula and liquid diets.
