Abstract

Durian (Durio zibethinus Murr.) consumption increased postprandial glycemic and lipid profiles. This study determine the effect of adding soluble beta-glucan with durian on posptprandial glycemic, lipid profiles and gut hormones (peptide YY, glucagon-like peptide-1, cholecystokinin). Rats were divided to Positive Control, Durian, Beta-Glucan, Durian + Beta-Glucan and Negative Control (normal diet). Durian (114.5 g) and 4 g of beta-glucan were converted to animal equivalent dose (AED). The formulations were given using an oral gavage. Blood was collected at the end of week 2. Durian + Beta-Glucan showed significantly (p<0.05) lower food intake compared with Beta-Glucan group.  Durian and/or Beta-glucan showed similar fasting glycemic, insulin, C-peptide and gut hormones compared with controls and baseline for all treatment groups. Rats fed with Durian + Beta-Glucan showed significantly (p<0.003) higher LDL-c compared with baseline with 0.42 (0.37-0.54) and 0.16 (0.08-0.26) mmol/L, respectively. This study suggests that a combination of durian and beta-glucan reduced food intake and has no negative effects on glycaemic response. The effects could be due to increase stomach distention or slower gastric emptying. It is imperative to note that sub-acute durian supplementation was associated with higher LDL-c but this needs to be confirmed in human study.
