Effects of an Apple Extract on Glycaemia: The GLU-Pomme Study
Summary
Postprandial hyperglycaemia can lead to adverse modifications to functional proteins within the body and eventually lead to the development of type 2 diabetes. Previous research by this group has shown that an apple polyphenol extract reduced hyperglycaemia following a high-carbohydrate meal. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of lower doses of the apple extract on postprandial glycaemia, insulinaemia and plasma gastric inhibitory polypeptide concentrations following a mixed carbohydrate test meal.
Description
Introduction:
Sharp peaks in blood glucose levels can lead to adverse modifications to functional proteins, oxidative stress and pancreatic beta cell dysfunction. It is therefore desirable to consume a diet that will allow more gradual rises in blood glucose levels after meals. Fruit polyphenols may help to limit the glucose excursion following a high carbohydrate meal. Previous research by this research group has demonstrated that 1200 mg of apple polyphenols (Appl'In™) inhibited the average incremental area under the curve (T+0 to T+30 min) of plasma glucose by 54% relative to placebo. Possible mechanisms include inhibition of intestinal enzymes and inhibition of intestinal glucose absorption by decreasing SGLT1/GLUT2 transport activity. The literature also suggests that foods rich in polyphenols exert beneficial effects on risk factors of cardiovascular disease such as hypertension, lipid metabolism and vascular function.
Study design:
A randomised, controlled, double-blind, cross-over study will be conducted. Four matched test drinks will be consumed in random order on separate study visits immediately before a mixed-carbohydrate test meal, containing either: 1) 1.2 g, 2) 0.9 g 3). 0.6 g of apple polyphenols, or 4). placebo. Postprandial changes in plasma glucose, insulin, NEFA, GIP, GLP-1 concentrations as well as changes in vascular function. Twenty-four hour urine samples will be collected for analysis of urinary polyphenol metabolites and glucose. In a sub sample of participants, a paracetamol absorption test will be incorporated via addition of 1.5 g paracetamol into the test drink.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Primary Prevention
Specific practices for the prevention of disease or mental disorders in susceptible individuals or populations. These include HEALTH PROMOTION, including mental health; protective procedures, such as COMMUNICABLE DISEASE CONTROL; and monitoring and regulation of ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS. Primary prevention is to be distinguished from SECONDARY PREVENTION and TERTIARY PREVENTION.
Secondary Prevention
The prevention of recurrences or exacerbations of a disease that already has been diagnosed. This also includes prevention of complications or after-effects of a drug or surgical procedure.
Rivaroxaban
A morpholine and thiophene derivative that functions as a FACTOR XA INHIBITOR and is used in the treatment and prevention of DEEP-VEIN THROMBOSIS and PULMONARY EMBOLISM. It is also used for the prevention of STROKE and systemic embolization in patients with non-valvular ATRIAL FIBRILLATION, and for the prevention of atherothrombotic events in patients after an ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME.
Polyphenols
A large class of organic compounds having more than one PHENOL group.
Therapeutic Misconception
Misunderstanding among individuals, frequently research subjects, of scientific methods such as randomization and placebo controls.
