Peanuts Second Meal Glycemic Response

Nut consumption is associated with reduced risk of Type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of peanut (whole or peanut butter) to breakfast meals on glycemic, insulinemic and selected gut hormone responses, appetite, and food intake over two consecutive meals in obese women with high Type 2 diabetes risk. Fifteen women participated in a randomized crossover trial where 42.5g of whole peanuts (P), peanut butter (PB), or no peanuts (control-C) were added to a 75g available carbohydrate-matched breakfast meal. Postprandial concentrations of blood glucose, insulin, non-esterified free fatty acids (NEFA), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), peptide YY (PYY), cholecystokinin (CCK), appetitive sensations and food intake were assessed after breakfast treatments and a standard lunch (75g available carbohydrate).

Treatment and study plan

Whole peanuts without skins, Peanut butter, or no peanuts (control)

Dietary Supplement

In accordance with the Food and Drug Administration qualified health claim regarding daily nut intake, 42.5 g of whole peanuts or peanut butter were added to a 75g available carbohydrate-matched breakfast meal each test session.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline in glucose homeostasis at eight hours

    Time frame: Baseline (-10), 15, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240, 265, 295, 310, 340, 370, 430 and 490 minutes

    Postprandial concentrations and incremental area under the curve of blood glucose, insulin and glucagon-like peptide-1, and incremental area above the curve of non-esterified free fatty acids were assessed after breakfast treatments and a standard lunch

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline in incretin hormones at four hours

    Time frame: Baseline (-10), 15, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180 and 240 minutes

    Postprandial concentrations and the incremental area under the curve of peptide YY and cholecystokinin were assessed after breakfast treatments

  2. Change in food intake over 24 hours

    Time frame: 24 hours

    All food consumed in laboratory and after leaving the laboratory in the experiment day were recorded

  3. Change from baseline in appetitive sensations at twelve hours

    Time frame: Baseline (-10), 15, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240, 265, 295, 310, 340, 370, 430, 490, 550, 610, 670 and 730 minutes

    Appetite ratings were scored at baseline and in a pre-determined times on a 100 mm visual analogue scale anchored with descriptors of "not at all" and "extremely"
