Increases In Peptide Y-Y Levels Following Oat Β-Glucan Ingestion Are Dose-Dependent In Overweight Adults, Eleanor J. Beck, Linda C. Tapsell, Marijka J. Batterham, Susan M. Tosh, Xu-Feng Huang Feb 2013

Increases In Peptide Y-Y Levels Following Oat Β-Glucan Ingestion Are Dose-Dependent In Overweight Adults, Eleanor J. Beck, Linda C. Tapsell, Marijka J. Batterham, Susan M. Tosh, Xu-Feng Huang

Peptide Y-Y (PYY) is an anorexigenic hormone implicated in appetite control, and β-glucan is a fiber known to affect appetite. We hypothesized that plasma PYY levels would increase in overweight human adults consuming increasing doses of β-glucan. The objective was to test whether the effect could be seen with β-glucan delivered through extruded cereals containing a high β-glucan oat bran with demonstrated high molecular weight and solubility. Fourteen subjects consumed a control meal and 3 cereals of varying β-glucan concentration (between 2.2 and 5.5 g), and blood samples were collected over 4 hours. Analysis of raw PYY data showed a …


Oat Β-Glucan Increases Postprandial Cholecystokinin Levels, Decreases Insulin Response And Extends Subjective Satiety In Overweight Subjects, Eleanor Beck, Susan Tosh, Marijka Batterham, Linda Tapsell, Xu-Feng Huang Feb 2013

Oat Β-Glucan Increases Postprandial Cholecystokinin Levels, Decreases Insulin Response And Extends Subjective Satiety In Overweight Subjects, Eleanor Beck, Susan Tosh, Marijka Batterham, Linda Tapsell, Xu-Feng Huang

This study recorded acute biochemical and subjective measures of satiety, followed by energy intake from a subsequent meal, after varying doses of β-glucan in extruded breakfast cereals. Molecular weight, solubility and viscosity of β-glucan products were determined. Seven male and seven female subjects (BMI 25–36 kg/m) consumed five breakfasts (different doses of β-glucan sourced from two different technological processes) and dietary intake was measured after four hours. Blood was collected to measure glucose, insulin, ghrelin and cholecystokinin, and visual analogue scales measured subjective satiety. Molecular weight, solubility and viscosity indicated products were likely to increase luminal viscosity. β-Glucan was found …


Diet High In Oat Β-Glucan Activates The Gut-Hypothalamic (Pyy3-36-Npy) Axis And Increases Satiety In Diet-Induced Obesity In Mice, Xu-Feng Huang, Yinghua Yu, Eleanor Beck, Timothy South, Yulin Li, Marijka Batterham, Linda Tapsell, Jiezhong Chen Feb 2013

Diet High In Oat Β-Glucan Activates The Gut-Hypothalamic (Pyy3-36-Npy) Axis And Increases Satiety In Diet-Induced Obesity In Mice, Xu-Feng Huang, Yinghua Yu, Eleanor Beck, Timothy South, Yulin Li, Marijka Batterham, Linda Tapsell, Jiezhong Chen

This study tested the effects of (1-3),(1-4) b-D-glucan from oats, on activation of the guthypothalamic (PYY3–36-NPY) axis, satiety, and weight loss in diet-induced obesity (DIO) mice. DIO mice were fed standard lab chow diets or varied doses of b-glucan for 6 weeks. Energy intake, satiety, body weight changes and peptide Y-Y3-36 (PYY3-36) were measured together with a satiety test and measurement of neuropeptide Y (NPY) mRNA expression in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (Arc). The average energy intake (-13%, po0.05) and body weight gain was lower with increasing b-glucan over 6 wk with acute suppression of energy intake over 4 h. …
