We conducted a prospective, randomized, double-blind, 3-group, 3-phase crossover study
to evaluate the effect of calcium alginate (Ca-Alg) on the postprandial increase of blood …

Abstract Calcium alginate (Ca-Alg) is known to suppress the postprandial increase of blood
glucose, and therefore may be helpful for preventing lifestyle-related diseases such as …

Results: Addition of 2.5% alginate to CM reduced peak glucose concentrations, at 30 min, by
an average of 6% and 13% compared with 1.25% alginate CM (95% confidence intervals …

Seven men with well-controlled, non-insulin-dependent (type 2) diabetes ingested on two
different mornings, in random order, meals with or without a 5.0-g sodium alginate …

Obese individuals are at increased risk of type 2 diabetes compared to their healthy weight
counterparts. Dietary fibre, such as alginate, could attenuate glycaemic disturbances …

Soluble dietary fibers include an alginate which reduces the postprandial glycaemic
response. We speculated that the cause of the reduction of alginate on the glycaemic …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the contribution of long-term and short-term
consumption of sodium alginate on the nutrient digestion and metabolic regulation of rats …

In this study, rats were fed a high-fat diet containing calcium alginate (Ca-Alg) for 5 weeks to
examine the effects of Ca-Alg on lipid metabolism including triglyceride (TG) levels in the …

Background: Viscous dietary fibers including oat β-glucan are one of the most effective
classes of functional food ingredients for reducing postprandial blood glucose. The …

In the current study, we investigated the inhibitory activity of water soluble ${\beta}-glucan $
from oat (Avena sativa) against various digestive enzymes such as ${\alpha}-glucosidase …
