The aim of the study was to compare the effects of acute intake dietary sugars on cognitive
performance and reaction time. This study was, randomized, placebo-controlled, double …

The brain relies upon glucose as its primary fuel. In recent years, a rich literature has
developed from both human and animal studies indicating that increases in circulating blood …

Rationale Previous research has identified a number of factors that appear to moderate the
behavioural response to glucose administration. These include physiological state, dose …

Background: Glucose is the primary fuel for the brain. The role of glucose in the performance
of cognitive tasks been extensively studied over the years. The possible and desirable …

The effect of carbohydrate, protein and fat ingestion on simple as well as complex cognitive
functions and the relationship between the respective postprandial metabolic changes and …

Memory for a list of 20 words can be enhanced when learning is preceded by consumption
of 25 g of glucose, compared with consumption of an equally sweet aspartame solution. The …

Background Impaired glucose tolerance is a risk factor for non-age-related cognitive decline
and is also associated with measures of physical activity (PA) and cardiorespiratory fitness …

This study tests the hypothesis that chewing gum leads to cognitive benefits through
improved delivery of glucose to the brain, by comparing the cognitive performance effects of …

Abstract The glycemic index (“GI”) of a food refers to the magnitude with which the food
elevates an individual's blood glucose levels, and this value can be used to calculate the …

Effective glycaemic control is vitally important to protecting brain function, as the brain relies
primarily on circulatory blood glucose crossing the blood-brain barrier for continuous energy …
