title: Pectin: an examination in normal subjects.
abstract: Pectin (10 g) administered to normal subjects with 100 g of glucose did not alter significantly serum concentrations of either glucose or insulin compared with glucose given alone. Pectin given with a mixed meal, however, did reduce the degree of glycemia without significantly altering insulin secretion. Pectin given with meals for 18 days was without effect on either serum glucose or insulin concentrations.
