Nutritional styles as Mediterranean and DASH diets are associated with lower incidences of certain chronic diseases and long life expectancy. The reason lays on their different contribution in fibers, polyphenols (from vegetables and fruit) and proteins. Barley is high fiber cereal that contains high amount of β-glucans and insoluble fibers that it was recognized having healthy benefits.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of β-glucans intake on glycaemic response, cholesterol and intestinal hormones levels. A single arm pilot study was performed with ten healthy individual which, consumed pasta enriched with 6% β-glucans for 30 days. Blood was collected at fasting and at multiple intervals until 180 min after the test meal consumption. The results showed that pasta modify plasma levels of gut hormones and low density lipoprotein levels.
These results add another piece of evidence to the role of the alimentary interventions to preserve healthy status.

纤维作为功能食品及其对肠道激素的影响:单臂先导研究中的β-葡聚糖实例
地中海和DASH饮食等营养风格与某些慢性疾病的发生率较低和预期寿命长有关。原因在于它们在纤维,多酚(来自蔬菜和水果)和蛋白质中的不同作用。大麦是一种高纤维谷物,含有大量的β-葡聚糖和不溶性纤维,被认为具有健康益处。
该研究的目的是评估摄入β-葡聚糖对血糖反应,胆固醇和肠道激素水平的影响。对十名健康个体进行了单臂试验研究,他们食用了富含6%β-葡聚糖的面食30天。禁食并以多个间隔收集血液,直到食用测试餐后180分钟为止。结果表明,面食可改善肠道激素的血浆水平和低密度脂蛋白的水平。
这些结果为饮食干预对维持健康状况的作用提供了另一条证据。
