Article Synopsis
- A study assessed the effects of hemp protein on blood glucose, insulin, and satiety, comparing it to soybean protein and a carbohydrate control through two experiments involving human participants.
- Both experiments showed that higher doses of hemp protein significantly lowered blood glucose levels and insulin concentrations post-meal compared to the carbohydrate control.
- The findings suggest that hemp protein is effective in reducing post-meal blood glucose response similarly to soybean protein, with no significant differences between the two.
Background: SLC22A23 is an orphan gene in the SLC22 family of organic membrane transporters, and its single-nucleotide polymorphism rs17309827-T was recently nominally associated with intestinal inflammation in a genome-wide association study. Other polymorphisms in the SLC22A23 gene have been associated with diseases with an inflammatory component, and polymorphisms in related genes in the SLC22 family have been repeatedly associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Objective: In a candidate-gene study using a well-phenotyped, highly monitored, Manitoban white cohort, we investigated whether variations in SLC22A23 were associated with intestinal inflammation.
Background: Crohn disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are 2 common inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) associated with intestinal inflammation and tissue damage. Oxidative stress is suggested to play a major role in the initiation and progression of IBD. Vitamin C (ascorbate, ascorbic acid) supplementation has reduced oxidative stress in persons with IBD.
