title: [Plasma insulin and glucagon after ingestion of meal enriched with increased doses of pectin in healthy man].
abstract: The effects of three doses of pectin (5, 10 and 15 g) included in a solid-liquid meal on the postprandial plasma insulin and glucagon responses were studied in 12 healthy men. The mean plasma glucagon level was significantly smaller with 5 g of pectin than the control values at 150 min (p less than 0.05) whereas plasma insulin values did not vary. No change in mean plasma glucagon and insulin levels was noted with 10 g and 15 g of pectin although the mean blood glucose levels were significantly higher than the control values at 180 min (p less than 0.05). Addition of pectin to a meal, even if the doses were relatively important, had little or no effect on the postprandial hormonal responses in healthy men. However, pectin could be of renewed interest because of the possibility of its action of satiety by means of sustained late blood glucose levels.
