[Effects of oral glucose, fructose and saccharose loads on blood sugar, insulin and lipids in normal subjects]. 1978

S Ferlito, and D Maugeri, and F Lo Furno, and M Calafato

Blood sugar, insulin, NEFA, triglycerides and cholesterol were evaluated in metabolically healthy subjects following oral glucose (100 g in 12 subjects), fructose (50 g in 9 subjects), and saccharose (100 g in 9 subjects). As shown in the literature, glucose led to a slight sugar increase at 60', a marked increase in insulin at 60', and a pronounced fall in NEFA at 120'. Fructose had no effect on sugar and NEFA, whereas there was significant and gradual rise in the insulin curve until 180' (P less than 0.01). In the case of saccharose, the changes in blood sugar, insulin and NEFA were slightly less evident than with glucose. No significant alterations in cholesterol and triglyceride levels were noted throughout the experiment.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids.
