  2. 1. Carbohydrate-Rich Foods in the Treatment of the Insulin Resistance Syndrome : Studies of the Importance of the Glycaemic Index and Dietary Fibre

    Author : Anette Järvi; Gabriele Riccardi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; diabetes; insulin resistance; carbohydrates; starch; glycaemic index; dietary fibre; postprandial; second-meal; glucose; insulin; triacylglycerol; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Geriatrics; geriatrik;

    Abstract : The glycaemic responses to various carbohydrate-rich foods are partly dependent on the rate at which the carbohydrate is digested and absorbed. The glycaemic index (GI) is a way of ranking foods according to their glycaemic response and is recommended as a useful tool in identifying starch-rich foods that give the most favourable glycaemic response.

  4. 2. From Food Preference to Craving : Behavioural Traits and Molecular Mechanisms

    Author : Johan Alsiö; Helgi B Schiöth; Jonas Lindblom; Anna M Kindlundh-Högberg; Suzanne Dickson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Obesity; Reward; Food preferences; Dietary fats; Dietary carbohydrates; Anxiety; Dopamine; Craving; Operant self-administration; Pharmacology; Farmakologi; Farmakologi; Pharmacology;

    Abstract : Preference for palatable and energy-dense foods may be a risk factor for body weight gain and has both genetic and environmental components. Once obesity develops in an individual, weight loss is difficult to achieve. READ MORE

  5. 3. Effects of Processing on Dietary Fibre in Vegetables

    Author : Maria Svanberg; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; low molecular weight carbohydrates; carrot cultivars; molecular weight distribution; viscosity; water-soluble polysaccharides; processing; Dietary fibre; vegetables; bulking capacity; rats; Food and drink technology; Livsmedelsteknik;

    Abstract : Several beneficial effects have been connected with dietary fibre. Insoluble fibre has a good faecal bulking capacity, whereas soluble and viscous dietary fibre has been shown to have beneficial effects on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. READ MORE

  6. 4. Influence of dietary carbohydrates on plasma fatty acid composition : Results from interventional and observational studies

    Author : Mohammed F. Bajahzer; Ulf Risérus; Lena Ohlsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; carbohydrates and fat metabolism; Nutrition; Nutrition;

    Abstract : Given reporting bias in dietary questionnaires, biomarkers offer objective assessments. Measuring circulating fatty acid (FA) composition is an established method for evaluating dietary fat quality. However, the influence of carbohydrates and sugars on plasma FA composition is less clear. READ MORE

  7. 5. Content and Distribution of Short-Chain Fatty Acids in the Hindgut of Rats Fed Various Sources of Indigestible Carbohydrates

    Author : Åsa Henningsson; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rats; red kidney beans; Nutrition; Näringslära; oligosaccharides; non-starch polysaccharides; resistant starch; dietary fibres; indigestible carbohydrates; short-chain fatty acids; fermentation;

    Abstract : There is increasing evidence that short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) formed by colonic fermentation of indigestible carbohydrates have beneficial physiological effects. Butyric acid is the main energy substrate for the colonic mucosa and has been implicated as important in the prevention and treatment of diseases of the colonic mucosa, such as distal ulcerative colitis and cancer.
