Methods of using gamma cyclodextrin to control blood glucose and insulin secretion

摘要: Disclosed are methods of producing a blunted postprandial glycemic response in an individual, and/or reducing insulin secretion, said comprising administering to the individual nutritional or other product gamma-cyclodextrin. Also disclosed similar directed toward use such products provide weight and appetite control, normalize blood glucose levels individuals with impaired tolerance, minimize nighttime hypoglycemia diabetic non-diabetic patients, prevent reactive susceptible non-diabetics, gestational diabetes tolerance during gestation, prolonged exercise. The based upon discovery that gamma-cyclodextrins rapidly metabolized absorbed small intestine, but subsequently result surprisingly reduced secretion.
