Article: Effects of a 4-week 70% high carbohydrate/15% low fat diet on glucose tolerance and on lipid profiles.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In order to investigate the effect of high carbohydrate/low fat diet on glucose tolerance and on lipid profiles, we performed a 4-week crossover study. Japanese subjects (30 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, 15 subjects with impaired glucose tolerance and 8 subjects with normal glucose tolerance) were allocated either 55% standard carbohydrate/30% fat (sc) or 70% high carbohydrate/15% low fat (hc) diet for four weeks, and evaluated by OGTT and various parameters. Then, the diet was crossed over to another diet, and identical parameters were re-evaluated after four weeks. Area under the glucose concentration-time curve (AUG) or triglyceride did not show significant changes between the two diets. HDL-Cholesterol and body mass index decreased significantly by hc diet. Free fatty acids and homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index showed a tendency to be decreased by hc diet. AUG hc/sc ratio was inversely correlated with AUG or free fatty acids on standard carbohydrate diet. In conclusion, the present 4-week high carbohydrate/low fat diet may be useful to reduce body weight and insulin resistance. The 4-week high carbohydrate/low fat diet did not affect glucose tolerance as a whole. Although the 4-week high carbohydrate/low fat diet decreased HDL-Chol, it did not increase triglyceride.Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice 05/2004; 64(1):11-8. · 2.75 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: The effect of high carbohydrate (hc) diet on glucose tolerance and on lipid profiles in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is contradicted. Japanese patients with mild type 2 diabetes mellitus were allocated either 55% standard carbohydrate (sc) or 80% high carbohydrate diets for 1 week, and OGTT and lipid profiles were examined. Then the diet was crossed over for another week, and OGTT and other identical parameters were re-evaluated. High carbohydrate diet improved the area under the glucose concentration-time curve (AUG) in 16/24 patients, and significantly increased and decreased 1,5-anhydroglucitol and homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-R) as a whole, respectively. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) hc/sc ratio was inversely correlated with HOMA-R on a standard carbohydrate diet. High carbohydrate diet significantly decreased LDL- and HDL-cholesterol, whereas it significantly increased triglyceride. Furthermore, hc/sc ratios of the lipid parameters were inversely correlated with the respective parameters on standard carbohydrate diet. The present study indicates that high carbohydrate diet improved glucose tolerance depending on patients and the improvement in FPG was predicted by HOMA-R on a standard carbohydrate diet. The effect of high carbohydrate diet on glucose tolerance and lipid profiles should be investigated through a long-term study in the future.Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice 10/2002; 57(3):163-70. · 2.75 Impact Factor
