Mechanism of Action of Milk and Its Components on Glycemic Control in Healthy Young Men

March 15, 2013 updated by: G. Harvey Anderson, University of Toronto
The investigators hypothesize that the physiological effects of milk on satiety and glycemic control are mediated by the interaction between its macronutrient components by both insulin-dependent and independent mechanisms.

Measure Description
Time Frame
Gastrointestinal hormones and gastric emptying rate
Time Frame: 0-180 min

Gatrointestinal hormones measured include plasma concentrations of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), peptide tyrosine tyrosine (PYY), cholecystokinin (CCK), and ghrelin.

Gastric emptying is assessed indirectly by adding 1.5 g of paracetamol (acetaminophen) to each beverage and measuring plasma paracetamol concentrations.
