The effect of unprocessed wheat bran on blood glucose and plasma immunoreactive insulin levels during oral glucose tolerance test in obese children.
Blood glucose and plasma immunoreactive insulin concentrations were measured during oral glucose tolerance test in 10 obese children. Oral glucose was given by itself or combined with 15 g unprocessed wheat bran. Bran significantly reduced the blood glucose and plasma immunoreactive insulin concentrations at 30 min of the tolerance test. It is concluded that supplementation of obese children's diet with unprocessed bran is advantageous.
