This study tests whether eating carbohydrates that digest slowly can naturally boost a hormone called GLP-1, which helps control blood sugar and appetite. Researchers want to understand if this might help people manage their weight and metabolism.
This study tests whether special carbohydrates that release sugar slowly (low glycemic index) can improve your blood fats (triglycerides) and other health markers better than regular whole grains. If you have moderately high triglycerides, this diet swap might help your metabolism and blood vessels.
This study looks at how natural chemicals in whole grains, especially corn, move through your body. It aims to understand the health benefits of these compounds, which could help improve nutrition.
This study tests whether eating whole grain sorghum (a type of grain) every day can improve your body's metabolism and immune system. You'll wear a glucose monitor and provide blood and stool samples to see how your body responds.
This study tests whether bread made from wheat milled in different ways affects blood sugar levels and stomach comfort. If you join, you will eat study breads for 14 days and wear a glucose monitor to track your body's response.
This study looks at how people with different body weights digest and process sugar after a meal. Participants will eat a special breakfast and have blood and possibly stool tests to track a safe, low-dose radioactive label in the sugar. The goal is to understand why body weight affects sugar metabolism.
