title: [Use of Jerusalem artichokes in diet therapy of patients with type II diabetes mellitus].
abstract: The purpose of present study was to evaluate the therapeutic and preventive actions of topinambur included in controlled diet for patients with II type diabetes. 35 patients aged 46-58 years suffering diabetes mellitus during 3-10 years have been under study. All patients receiving the diet N9 were randomly divided on two groups with (experimental group) and without (control group) consumption of topinambur. The mashed topinambur (100 g/day for second breakfast) and cookies with topinambur (50 g/day) were used in experimental diet during 4 weeks. It was shown that experimental diet containing topinambur caused slight increasing of postprandial hyperglycemia. In patients eating experimental diet with reduced caloric contents an increasing of serum blood triglyceride level was observed. The results do not give background to recommend topinambur in dietary treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
