Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Beta-glucan, Gastric emptying, Postprandial blood glucose, Healthy subjects

Intervention(s)
Twelve healthy subjects were assessed using a randomized crossover blinded trial. The subjects were examined after an 8 hours fast and assessment of normal fasting blood glucose level. Gastric emptying rate was calculated as the percentage change in the antral cross-sectional area 15 and 90 minutes after ingestion of vanilla yoghurt with flakes containing 4 g beta-glucan (GER1) or vanilla yoghurt with Kellogg´s cornflakes (GER2). Significant differences were evaluated with Wilcoxon t-test.
Primary Outcome(s)
The ß-glucan effect on the rate of gastric emptying was statistically not significant compared with cornflakes. Consumption of ß-glucan lowered the postprandial glucose response significant (p<0.05).
Secondary Outcome(s)
The effect of ß-glucan on satiety was not statistically significant.
