The glycaemic index (GI) was introduced by Jenkins to express the rise of blood glucose after eating a food against a standard blood glucose curve after glucose (or white bread) in the same subject. The GI ranges from about...
Does the glycemic index of food affect heart health?The article examines the evidence for the argument that eating a diet of foods low on the glycemic index (GI) can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. The GI of a particular food represents the relative rate of entry of glucose into...
From the mid-1970s several groups realized progressively that the same amounts of carbohydrates in different foods produce quite different blood glucose curves after ingestion. The glycaemic index (GI) was introduced by Jenkins to express the rise of blood glucose after eating a food against a sta...
This review assesses the feasibility of using glycemic index (GI) as a predictor of appetite, hunger and satiety by surveying published human intervention studies. We also discuss the relationship between GI and two appetite/satiety control hormones, leptin and ghrelin. Ingestion of high-GI food in...
Why are foods like meat and butter not on the glycemic index? The glycemic index (GI) is a measure of how much the carbohydrates in a food affect blood sugar. Since foods like meat and butter don't contain carbohydrates, they are not included. ...

The unique properties of sorghum proteins may also influence the digestion of sorghum starch and could play a role in development of low glycemic index foods.Advances in Cereal Science: Implications to food processing and health promotion... SR Bean,BP Ioerger,BM Smith,... - Advances in Cerea...
One of the tools to help in the treatment of diseases is the index and glycemic load of food. The objective of the work is to carry out data survey in the literature about the influence of the glycemic indicator of foods. Databases such as MEDLINE / Pubmed, Scielo and Google Scholar we...
The glycemic index classifies carbohydrate-containing foods according to the patient's glycemic responses expressed as a percentage of a reference food such as bread. The different glycemic responses to foods containing the same amount of carbohydrates depend mainly, at least in normal subjects, on ...
