Legume Flour Particle Size and Metabolic Responses to Bread (PULSE)

15 luglio 2026 aggiornato da: Amalia Yanni, Harokopio University

Effects of Legume Flour Particle Size on Postprandial Metabolic Responses to Bread of Healthy Subjects and Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of partial replacement of wheat flour by legume flour of different particle sizes on postprandial glucose responses and appetite sensations in healthy subjects and patients with type 2 diabetes.

Subjects will consume a portion of bread enriched with legume flours yielding 50 g of available carbohydrates as breakfast meal. To investigate the effect of the bread on glycemic response, a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGM) will be used. After an 180-min period, subjects will be given a second meal and glycemic response will be monitored for another 180 min. During the trial subjects must fill appropriate visual analogue scales regarding appetite sensations.

Descrizione dettagliata

The clinical trial will include two groups: (a) apparently healthy adults (up to 35 years old) and (b) individuals diagnosed with T2DM (aged 40-65 years). The study will investigate the effect of flour particle size on postprandial glycemic responses to bread and appetite sensations.

Within the framework of the clinical study, a total of three bread products will be prepared. Their final recipes will be determined after a series of tests to ensure the desired properties and organoleptic characteristics.

Intervention 1: White wheat bread with conventional fine wheat flour Intervention 2: White wheat bread with the addition of 30% finely milled chickpea flour Intervention 3: White wheat bread with the addition of 30% chickpea flour of larger particle size (>1.6 mm)

Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria

  1. Group 1

    Participants in Group 1 will be men and women aged 40-65 years with BMI < 31 kg/m², fasting glucose > 125 mg/dL, and HbA1c < 8.5%, diagnosed with T2DM for at least one year before entering the study.

    Patients must be on stable treatment (hypoglycemic, lipid-lowering, antihypertensive) for at least 3 months prior to enrolment. Most participants will be individuals monitored at the Diabetes Clinic of the 1st Propaedeutic Department of Internal Medicine at Laiko General Hospital.

    Individuals with conditions that could affect study outcomes (e.g., endocrine, cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, or gastrointestinal disorders), those with sensitivity, intolerance, or allergy to any bread ingredients used in the clinical trial, pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with eating disorders, and those taking medications or supplements considered incompatible with the study will be excluded.

  2. Group 2

Group 2 will consist of apparently healthy men and women aged 18-35 years with BMI 18-25 kg/m², who are not following a diet program or dietary counseling during the study period.

Individuals with fasting glucose > 110 mg/dL, blood pressure > 160/100 mmHg, metabolic or dietary disorders, conditions that could affect the study outcomes (e.g., endocrine, cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, or gastrointestinal diseases), those with sensitivity, intolerance, or allergy to the bread ingredients used, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and those taking medications that could affect the study (e.g., hypoglycemic drugs, appetite-modifying medications, or any other relevant medications) will be excluded.

All volunteers, after providing informed written consent, will undergo a blood sample collection to confirm eligibility based on defined criteria, as well as for additional hematological and biochemical analyses. Subsequently, each participant will have a Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) sensor placed by trained personnel according to the manufacturer's instructions, in order to monitor glucose values throughout the postprandial protocol. Measurements will include the period following consumption of the first meal (bread) and a second standardized meal, consumed 3 h later.

Cosa sta misurando lo studio?

Misure di risultato primarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
