Abstract

Introduction: The alarming global increase in
lifestyle-related disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus
(T2DM) has increased during the last several decades. Poor dietary
choices significantly contribute to this increase and prevention
measures are urgently needed. Dietary intake of bioactive compounds
found in foods are linked to a decrease likelihood of these disorders.
For this purpose, a randomized crossover meal study was performed to
compare the postprandial metabolic effects of lecithin and oat polar
lipids in healthy subjects.

Introduction: The alarming global increase in
lifestyle-related disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus
(T2DM) has increased during the last several decades. Poor dietary
choices significantly contribute to this increase and prevention
measures are urgently needed. Dietary intake of bioactive compounds
found in foods are linked to a decrease likelihood of these disorders.
For this purpose, a randomized crossover meal study was performed to
compare the postprandial metabolic effects of lecithin and oat polar
lipids in healthy subjects.


Materials and methods: Eighteen young healthy
subjects ingested test meals enriched with lecithin, oat polar lipids
(PLs) or rapeseed oil. There were four test meals (i) 15 g oat polar
lipids: OPL, (ii) 18 g sunflower lecithin (of which 15 g were polar
lipids): LPL, (iii) 18 g rapeseed oil: RSO, and (iv) reference white
wheat bread: WWB. Lipid-enriched test meals contained equivalent amounts
of total fat (18 g), and all breakfast meals contained 50 g available
carbohydrates. The meals were served as breakfast followed by a
standardised lunch (white wheat bread and meat balls) after 3.5 h. Test
variables were measured at fasting and repeatedly during 5.5 h after
ingestion of the breakfast.


Results: Our study demonstrated that both LPL and
OPL had beneficial effects on postprandial glucose and insulin
responses, and appetite regulating gut hormones, as compared to RSO and
WWB. Significant increase in GLP-1, GIP, and PYY concentrations were
seen after consuming breakfast meals with LPL and OPL, and ghrelin
concentration was reduced compared to meals with RSO and WWB (p < 0.05). Furthermore, triglycerides (TG) concentration was significantly reduced after OPL compared to RSO (p < 0.05).
Our data show that there were no significant variations in glycaemic
and insulin responses, TG, and gut hormone concentrations between LPL
and OPL during breakfast (0–210 min) or over the whole study period
(0–330 min).


Conclusion: Our study revealed that the
consumption of both lecithin and oat PLs included in breakfast meal may
similarly enhance postprandial glucose tolerance, reduce TG, and enhance
the secretion of incretins and appetite regulating hormones in healthy
young adults.
