Optimizing Mango's Glycemic Impact: Investigating Mango Consumption Timing in Relation to Meal in Prediabetic Individuals
Clinical Nutrition Research Center, Illinois Institute of Technology
Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of mango intake on metabolic and inflammatory responses relative to meals in individuals at risk of developing diabetes, as well as to understand how the beneficial compounds found in mangoes are absorbed and processed in the body.
Description
The primary goal of the proposed project is to advance current knowledge about the antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory benefits of consuming mangoes, especially in individuals with prediabetes, and to determine the best timing of mango intake relative to meals. Participation in this study will last approximately five weeks and will include six visits: one screening visit lasting about one hour and four study-day visits, each lasting approximately eight hours. During these study visits, blood and urine samples will be collected to help researchers better understand the effects of mango intake r…
