About

This study investigated the short-term effects of fruit juice enriched with vitamin D3, n-3 fatty acids, and probiotics on subjective appetite, energy intake, and glycemic responses, in both normal-weight and overweight, healthy adults.

Full description

This study aimed to 1. Assess the subjective appetite of participants after the consumption of fruit juice (100% orange) enriched with vitamin D3, n-3 fatty acids, and probiotics compared to regular fruit juice (without any fortification), and 2. Examine the short-term effects of enriched fruit juice compared to regular fruit juice on glycemic responses and blood pressure, in both normal-weight and overweight healthy adults

Orange juice with vitamin D3, n-3 fatty acids, and probiotics as preload
Experimental group
Description:
Twenty-three healthy adults with normal weight and twenty-three healthy adults with overweight consumed a standardized breakfast after a 12-hour fast. Two hours later they were given 50 g of available carbohydrates from the two preloads (enriched orange juice or control orange juice) in a random order, and 3 hours after the preload they were offered an ad libitum lunch. Foods were weighed at the time of serving and any leftovers were weighed again after lunch to determine the amount of food consumed. There was a washout period of at least one week between the two visits. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were collected at baseline and at several time points after food intake. Visual analog scales (VAS) of 100 mm were collected to assess subjective appetite. Blood pressure was measured at several time-points.
Treatment:
Behavioral: Orange juice with vitamin D3, n-3 fatty acids, and probiotics as preload
Control orange juice without vitamin D3, n-3 fatty acids, and probiotics as preload
