Scientific titleSlow starch foods: an explorative pilot study - postprandial glucose kinetics and metabolic effects of different wheat products in healthy men
Study objectivesIt was hypothesised that the consumption of wheat pasta and wheat bread with purple fibre would result in different postprandial glucose kinetics and would have a beneficial effect on several parameters involved in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) as compared to the consumption of a wheat bread with normal fibre.
Ethics approval(s)Medical Ethics Committee of the BEBO foundation, Assen, The Netherlands approved on the 8th January 2009 (ref: CCMO NL 26384.056.08; study code 080290-CS0127)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedInsulin resistance/type 2 diabetes mellitus
InterventionTen healthy male volunteers will participate in the study, receiving three different test meals on three separate days (at least 1 week interval). The test meals are:
1. White wheat bread with fibrer from normal wheat
2. Wheat pasta with fibre from normal wheat
3. White wheat bread with fibre from purple wheat

Purple wheat fiber added to white bread might result in a slower starch digestion. Purple wheat contains a high amount of anthocyanins, which are found in vitro to have the ability to inhibit α-amylase and α-glucosidase.

The test meals are enriched with the stable isotope 13C and volunteers are infused with a tracer amount of the stable isotope 2H for 8h. This method called the ‘dual isotope technique’ is used in order to calculate glucose kinetics. Blood samples are drawn during the study period via a venous catheter and several breath and urine samples will be collected.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureGlucose kinetics of the test meals, such as the rate of appearance of exogenous glucose in plasma. Glucose kinetics is calculated using total plasma glucose concentration, the 13C/12C-ratio of glucose in plasma samples, and the 2H/1H-glucose ratio in plasma samples.

Plasma samples were drawn at the following timepoints (in minutes, at t = 0 the test meal was consumed): -60, -30, 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300, 330, 360.

Plasma concentrations of total blood glucose and insulin are also considered as primary outcome measures.
Secondary outcome measures1. Plasma concentrations of incretins and markers of inflammation
2. Sensation of appetite and satiety (VAS registration) as well as feeling and extent of discomfort after consumption of the test meal
3. Demographic and other parameters include
3.1. Body weight
3.2. Body mass index (BMI)
3.3. Family history of T2DM
3.4. Habitual diet
3.5. Smoking habits
3.6. Sportive activities
