Effect of consuming fiber from corn bran, soy hulls, or apple powder on glucose tolerance and plasma lipids in type II diabetes

JR Mahalko, HH Sandstead, LK Johnson, LF Inman, DB Milne, RC Warner and EA Haunz

The effects of consuming corn bran, soy hulls, or apple powder on glucose and lipid metabolism were investigated in two studies of persons with type II diabetes. Fiber sources, completely or partially added to bread, were incorporated into subjects' self-selected diets. Low fiber white bread served as a control. In study A, 10 subjects consumed 26 g fiber source daily; in study B, eight subjects consumed 52 g fiber source. Biochemical tests, including a 2-h postprandial glucose test using a low fiber formula meal, were scheduled after 2 and 4 wk of each dietary treatment. Soy hull consumption slightly improved some measures of glucose tolerance, with results varying between the studies. Consumption of 52 g corn bran decreased very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and glycosylated Hb, but subject tolerance was poor with the particle size used. Consumption of 52 g apple powder increased low-density lipoprotein and total cholesterol levels.
