METABOLIC RESPONSE TO 4 DIETARY FIBER IN HUMAN SUBJECTS

这个子项目是众多研究子项目之一

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. Dietary fiber is known to affect the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, although there are significant differences among dietary fiber on their abililty to alter GI health. The objective of this study is to compare the physiological responses of 4 dietary fibers in normal human subjects, as compared to a placebo treatment. Secondary aims of the study are to measure the effects of dietary fibers on blood chemistries, including blood lipids, glucose, insulin, C-reactive protein, and gut hormones.
