The proposed mechanisms for the action of dietary fiber (DF) on the glycemic response suggest a nonlinear relationship between glycemic index (GI) and DF content. This relationship was analyzed by using the newly reported total DF (TDF) values, assuming a nonlinear regression curve. The empirical equation obtained was Y = 19.9X-0.322. Similar regression curves were also obtained for soluble DF (SDF) and insoluble DF (IDF). The two regression curves indicated that the correlation coefficient between observed GI and GI calculated from the IDF regression curve (-0.781) was virtually identical to that for SDF (-0.780), but a given content (eg, 5% vs available carbohydrate) of SDF gave a lower GI (39) than did IDF (48). This stronger dependency of GI on SDF suggests a major function of SDF in the TDF hypoglycemic effect. From the regression curve of GI vs TDF, we propose a supplemental GI to predict the glycemic response to foods with no published GI.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
