Effect of Yellow Pea Protein and Fibre Added to a High-carb Meal on Glycemic Response and Food Intake

December 12, 2013 updated by: G. Harvey Anderson, University of Toronto
The investigators hypothesized that consuming isolated yellow pea fibre or protein, alone to together, as part of a high-carbohydrate pasta meal, would reduce the blood glucose response to the meal compared to a meal without yellow pea components and reduce food intake at a meal served 2 hours later.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Ad libitum food intake at second pizza meal
Time Frame: 135 mins after completion of treatment, 20 mins to eat pizza meal.
Food intake measured via electronic scale in g, then converted to kcal using the caloric density.
135 mins after completion of treatment, 20 mins to eat pizza meal.
Blood glucose
Time Frame: between 0 and 215 mins, every 15-30 mins
Blood glucose measured via hand-held glucometer and finger prick.
between 0 and 215 mins, every 15-30 mins

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Subjective appetite
Time Frame: 0 to 215 minutes
Measured via Visual Analog Scales (VAS)
0 to 215 minutes

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Palatability of treatments
Time Frame: following treatment consumption at 15 mins
Measured by VAS to ensure palatability is not confounding other outcomes.
following treatment consumption at 15 mins
