[The effects of wheat bran and pectin on the oral glucose tolerance test in patients after gastric surgery (author's transl)].
In 23 patients previously operated on the stomach, the effect of pectin and wheat bran on the glucose tolerance test (G.T.T.) has been studied. If wheat bran had no significant effect on the glucose tolerance curve, pectin had a significant effect, lowering blood glucose value before the 90th minute (1,32 +/- 0,33 g/l as against 1,87 +/- 0,23 on the 30th minute) and elevating blood glucose value after the 90th minute of the G.T.T. (0.90 +/- 0,30 as against 0, 63 +/- 0,26 on the 120th minute). Therapeutic efficiency of pectin was confirmed in three patients who had symptoms of hypoglycaemia, which disappeared with the intake of 5 g of pectin before each meal.
