EFFECTS OF TAHITIAN NONI JUICE ON POSTPRANDIAL BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。提出的研究是为了验证膳食补充剂大溪地诺丽果汁（TNJ）可能降低健康或糖尿病前期受试者对配方的血糖反应的假设。将对血糖曲线进行分析，以确定TNJ的急性或长期影响。据报道，塔希提诺丽果汁有可能降低血糖，然而，这项拟议的研究将是第一个在控制方案中研究这种果汁可能产生的影响。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The proposed study is undertaken to test the hypothesis that the dietary supplement, Tahitian Noni Juice (TNJ), may decrease the plasma glucose response to a formula in healthy or pre-diabetic subjects. The blood glucose curves will be anlayzed to determine any acute or long-term effects of TNJ. Tahitian Noni Juice has been reported to potentially lower blood glucose, however, the proposed study will be the first to study the possible effect of the juice in a controlled protocol.
