The Effect of Content of Barley Beta-glucans in Bread on Postprandial Blood Sugar

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Glycemic Index
Registration Number
NCT03878576
Lead Sponsor
Nutrition Institute, Slovenia
Brief Summary

The effect of content of barley beta-glucans in bread on postprandial blood sugar will be measured with open-label crossover study. Study will be conducted in Slovenia on 10-12 adult subjects who will test three barley beta-glucan containing bread formulations (food) in comparison with a reference white bread. Objective of the study is to investigate the influence of the content of barley beta-glucan in bread on glycaemic index (incremental area under the curve (IAUC) for the blood glucose response curve for barley beta-glucan containing breads in comparison to reference white bread.
