title: Effects of tendamistate on postprandial plasma glucose, free fatty acid and triglyceride levels.
abstract: A dose of 400 mg tendamistate or a placebo was given to 10 volunteers in order to investigate its effects on plasma glucose, free fatty acid and triglyceride levels after a porridge meal. Each subject participated in two phases, in each of which they ate porridge prepared from 100 g maize meal together with either placebo or tendamistate 400 mg. Serial blood specimens for plasma glucose determinations were taken up to 3 hours after the meal, and those for free fatty acid and triglyceride determinations up to 14 hours after the meal. Side-effects (flatulence and bulky stools) were not severe and were reported after both treatments. Tendamistate administration significantly attenuated postprandial glycaemia; it had no effect on postprandial triglyceride levels and was associated with a reduction in free fatty acid levels.
