News Finding: With whey pre-load, insulin and GLP-1 responses also were significantly higher (105 and 141 percent, respectively), producing a 96 percent increase in early insulin response.
Paper Finding: Plasma insulin levels at the first 30 min were higher and increased more rapidly after whey pre-load (Fig.
News Context: The researchers found that glucose levels were reduced by 28 percent after the whey pre-load over the 180-minute post-meal period, with a uniform reduction during early and late phases. With whey pre-load, insulin and GLP-1 responses also were significantly higher (105 and 141 percent, respectively), producing a 96 percent increase in early insulin response. "The early insulin response that usually is deficient in type-2 diabetes was significantly higher after whey protein than with placebo, and the whey protein preload significantly reduced the elevation of blood glucose after breakfast," said Prof. Jakubowicz.
Paper Context: Whey protein significantly increased the postprandial early insulin release. Plasma insulin levels at the first 30 min were higher and increased more rapidly after whey pre-load (Fig. Over the late interval, AUC 60-120 min , and during the complete post-meal period (0-180 min), plasma insulin levels were also significantly higher after whey preload than after placebo (Fig.
