Brief Summary:
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease that results in hyperglycaemia This study aimed to identify whether the anthocyanins contained in acai berries can mitigate postprandial glycaemia in healthy adults when consumed in conjunction with carbohydrate Study design was double blind randomised crossover with glycaemic levels assessed via capillary blood samples taken at baseline and over a 2 hour post-prandial period
Detailed Description:
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus T2DM is a group of chronic metabolic disorders characterised by insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency that results in hyperglycaemia In the UK an estimated 43m people live with T2DM and it is a major cause of kidney failure heart attacks stroke blindness and lower limb amputation The primary digestive enzymes that affect carbohydrate digestion and hence postprandial glycaemic levels have been identified as α-amylase and α-glucosidase Inhibition of these enzymes therefore reduces the rate of glucose absorption and is the principle behind T2DM medications such as acarbose miglitol and voglibose Whilst acai berries have been found to be rich in α-amylase and α-glucosidase no research has been conducted on healthy adults to ascertain whether the consumption of acai berries in conjunction with carbohydrate mitigates the rise in postprandial glycaemia
10 participants were recruited for a double blind randomised crossover study where participants consumed smoothies containing either acai or placebo after 10 hours of fasting Capillary blood samples were taken at baseline then at 30 minutes intervals until 2 hours after consumption The study included data for sex femalemale age years weight kg height cm body mass index kgm2 and blood glucose mmoll All data collection smoothies preparation smoothies consumption and blood sampling procedures were completed at St Marys University during the period November-December 2020 Statistical analysis was conducted on the data for postprandial glycaemic response to ascertain whether the consumption of acai mitigated the glycaemic response relative to the placebo
