The effect of the gel-forming liquid fibre on feeding behaviour in man

The British Journal of Nutrition
J Tomlin

Abstract

A novel substance called liquid fibre (LF) has been developed which gels in the stomach and dramatically delays gastric emptying. The prolonged stomach distension LF causes would be expected to reduce food intake. The present study tested whether LF affected psychological factors connected with eating behaviour and short-term food intake. Paired studies were carried out on seventeen healthy but overweight volunteers (ten male, seven female) with body mass indices of 24-34 kg/m2 who were non-restricted eaters. On one occasion (randomized) they took drinks of LF (300 ml each) at 09.05, 11.55 and 18.00 hours, and on the other they took placebo drinks. Subjective feelings were assessed by visual analogue scales. The amount of food consumed at an appetizing pre-selected meal presented at 12.15 hours was measured covertly. Food diaries were kept until 16.00 hours on the following day. The visual analogue scales indicated that LF reduced hunger and the amount of food desired, and increased fullness, all of which would be expected to cause a reduction in food intake. However, there were no differences in the amount or type of food eaten at the appetizing test-meal (6073 v. 5824 kJ, P = 0.41). Food eaten later in the day was significant...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
