Key Findings
Postprandial ghrelin suppression was greater after high-calorie meals and closely tracked the insulin response rather than carbohydrate structure per se.
Conclusions
Insulin release is a key mediator of meal-induced ghrelin suppression.
Limitations
Small sample of healthy non-obese men; acute 4-hour design.
Outcomes Measured
We examined the effects of both amount and type of carbohydrate on ghrelin concentrations.
Postprandial ghrelin suppression was greater after high-calorie meals and closely tracked the insulin response rather than carbohydrate structure per se.
