This study aimed to evaluate the effect of sorghum intake on body composition and metabolic variables in overweight men. In a randomized controlled crossover study, 24 overweight men (25.6 ± 4.6 years) were randomly allocated into one of two treatments: extruded sorghum or extruded wheat. The study consisted of 2 periods of 8 weeks with at least 4 weeks of washout. Anthropometric, clinical and metabolic risk variables were assessed at baseline and at the end of each intervention period. Extruded sorghum consumption reduced body fat percentage and increased daily carbohydrate and dietary fiber intake when compared to wheat consumption. Also, sorghum increased the serum glutathione peroxidase concentration, but no difference was observed when compared to wheat consumption. Extruded sorghum demonstrated to be a good alternative to control obesity in overweight men.

饮食限制饮食与高粱膨化有关，可以减少超重男性的体内脂肪：一项随机对照试验。

这项研究旨在评估高粱摄入对超重男性身体成分和代谢变量的影响。在一项随机对照交叉研究中，将24名超重男性（25.6±4.6岁）随机分配到以下两种治疗方法之一中：挤压高粱或挤压小麦。该研究包括2个8周的时期，至少4周的洗脱期。在基线和每个干预期结束时评估人体测量学，临床和代谢风险变量。与小麦消费相比，膨化高粱消费降低了体内脂肪含量，增加了每日碳水化合物和膳食纤维的摄入量。同样，高粱增加了血清谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶的浓度，但与小麦消费相比没有观察到差异。
