Pasta made with less starch and more fiber causes a smaller rise in blood sugar after eating compared to regular pasta, in both people without diabetes and those with type 2 diabetes.
When eaten in equal amounts of carbohydrates, pasta made with low starch and high fiber lowers the rise in blood sugar after a meal by about 23% over time and 17% at its peak, compared to regular...
In healthy young adults, eating either a high-fat diet or a high-protein low-carbohydrate diet for 7 days lowers thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels by a similar amount, suggesting that the type...
When healthy young adults eat a low-carbohydrate diet that is higher in protein instead of higher in fat, their blood glucose levels after eating are lower two hours later.
When healthy young adults eat a low-carbohydrate diet high in protein for seven days, their blood insulin levels rise more after a meal than when they eat a low-carbohydrate diet high in fat.
When healthy young adults eat a low-carbohydrate diet high in polyunsaturated fats for seven days, their blood triglyceride levels after meals are lower than when they eat a low-carbohydrate diet...
When healthy young adults eat a low-carbohydrate diet with mostly polyunsaturated fat for seven days, their fasting T3 hormone levels drop compared to when they eat a low-carbohydrate diet with...
When fat is delivered directly into the small intestine of healthy young adults, it leads to a greater feeling of fullness specifically for high-fat foods, compared to other types of foods, which may...
When healthy young adults receive an intravenous fat solution at a standard dose, their blood levels of a digestive hormone called cholecystokinin rise from 2.4 to 4.8 picomoles per liter, indicating...
When healthy young adults receive loxiglumide intravenously while fat is infused into their duodenum, their blood levels of cholecystokinin rise instead of falling, suggesting that the body's...
When a drug called loxiglumide blocks CCK-A receptors in healthy young adults, the feeling of fullness normally triggered by fat in the small intestine does not occur, indicating that CCK-A receptor...
When fat is delivered directly into the small intestine of healthy young adults at a rate of 6 grams per hour, it triggers the release of a hormone called cholecystokinin, which leads to increased...
Specific variations in the USF1 gene are linked to higher fat breakdown in response to stress hormones in fat cells grown in the lab, and also to greater reduction of fat breakdown when insulin is...
Genetic variations in the USF1 gene affect how insulin suppresses fat breakdown, but this effect does not change based on whether a person also has a specific variation in the HSL gene.
Certain variations in the USF1 gene are linked to a larger decrease in free fatty acids in the blood during a glucose tolerance test in Caucasian adults, suggesting these genetic differences affect...
People with specific combinations of genetic variants in the USF1 and LIPC genes have been observed to have higher levels of fat in their liver, as measured by a specialized imaging technique, which...
People with two specific genetic variants in the USF1 gene show a stronger reduction in fat release from fat cells when insulin is present, and their bodies respond more effectively to insulin in...
In men with fatty liver disease linked to metabolic issues, higher levels of triglycerides and alanine aminotransferase in the blood are regularly found alongside the presence of fat in the liver,...
In men with early-stage fatty liver disease linked to metabolic issues, blood sugar levels measured two hours after eating sugar are a better sign of metabolic problems than standard tests like...
In men with fatty liver disease and normal blood sugar levels, insulin rises more than expected after consuming sugar, suggesting the body is producing extra insulin to maintain normal glucose before...
Men with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease show higher levels of the hormone glucagon after fasting and after eating, compared to men without this liver condition, even if they...
Some middle-aged men with fatty liver disease but normal fasting blood sugar levels show higher-than-normal blood glucose spikes after drinking a sugary solution, revealing a form of early glucose...
Among adults aged 18 to 45, thyroid hormone levels were within normal range at the start of the study, so changes in micronutrient levels during the 60-day intervention were not influenced by thyroid...
Adding millets to meals in institutions like schools or hospitals, along with standard vitamin supplements, might help improve vitamin B12 and D levels more than supplements alone, especially in...
