Low dose (2.5 g of pinitol)
Each subject completed two 1-day trials separated by a 1-week interval. The subjects were randomized by alternation method to belong to the group of low, intermediate or high dose, containing 2.5, 4.0 or 6.0 g of pinitol, respectively. Each subject was newly randomized (1:1) and cross-over into one of two groups: one that received the pinitol-enriched beverage, and the other a placebo beverage. In this way, each dose and its corresponding placebo were studied in 10 normoglycaemic subjects.
Pinitol
Three doses of Fruit Up® (diluted with mineral water to a final volume of 330 ml) were evaluated, and were equivalent to an intake of 2.5, 4.0 and 6.0 g of pinitol. The placebo beverage contained equal amounts of non-polyol carbohydrates with similar macronutrient composition and energy intake as that those obtained through the pinitol beverage, but excluding pinitol.
Intermediate dose (4.0 g of pinitol)
Each subject completed two 1-day trials separated by a 1-week interval. The subjects were randomized by alternation method to belong to the group of low, intermediate or high dose, containing 2.5, 4.0 or 6.0 g of pinitol, respectively. Each subject was newly randomized (1:1) and cross-over into one of two groups: one that received the pinitol-enriched beverage, and the other a placebo beverage. In this way, each dose and its corresponding placebo were studied in 10 normoglycaemic subjects.
