Legumes are rich source of proteins and dietary fibers which are associated with satiety and amelioration of postprandial glycemic response. The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of cereal-based products fortified with legumes on appetite regulation and body weight management.
Postprandial glycemic response as well as response of hormones related to appetite regulation after consumption of cereal-based products fortified with legumes will be evaluated. Apparently healthy subjects with normal body weight and overweight subjects will participate in the study (two protocols). Certain effects on metabolites related to the composition of the different products will be examined. The results of the study will help in the design of a long-term clinical trial regarding the effects of the functional products on body weight management in overweight subjects.
