Hypoglycemic and thermogenic effects are attributed to the capsaicinoid compounds (capsaicin). The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute effect of the consumption of 5g of chili pepper on thermogenesis and the glycemic response. In a pretest-post-test quasi-experimental study, the energy expenditure (EE) of 15 healthy men was evaluated by using indirect calorimetry at rest and with the consumption of 5g of Capsicum annum. In addition, the glycemic response after an oral glucose load was evaluated. After the consumption of C. annum, there was a significant increase in the EE of all the participants during the first few seconds postchili consumption. In sedentary participants, the consumption of chili pepper caused a significant decrease of blood glucose levels. The consumption of chili pepper has a potential immediate thermogenic effect during the first few seconds and, in sedentary people, it has a potential hypoglycemic effect.

A protein diet is an alternative to control hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia conditions in diabetic patients. However, for the program to run optimally, the implementation of technology in the form of TeleHealth is needed to help educate patients on a regular and flexible basis. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of implementing TeleHealth using the SKEDIt application for protein diet education in diabetic patients. Methods: This research is a quasi-experimental study, pre and post-test with a control group. The subjects involved were 20 diabetic patients, divided into 2 groups (intervention and control). Parameters analyzed were lipid profile and blood glucose levels. There was no difference in lipid profile and blood glucose levels between the intervention and control groups (p > 0.05). However, there was a difference between the pre and post-test on cholesterol parameters in the lipid profile examination of the control group: p=0.031 and LDL p=0.021 (p <0.05). Implementation of TeleHealth using SKEDit may be an effective recommendation to support health education methods but needs to be supported by good patient compliance.

Fructose feeding induces moderate increases in blood pressure levels in normal rats, which is associated with hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and impaired glucose tolerance. Increased vascular resistance, sodium retention, and sympathetic overactivity have been proposed to contribute to the blood pressure elevation in this model. Taurine, a sulphur-containing amino acid, has been reported to have antihypertensive and sympatholytic actions. In the present study, the effects of taurine on blood pressure, plasma levels of glucose and insulin, glucose tolerance, and renal function were studied in fructose-fed rats. Fructose-fed rats had higher blood pressure and elevated plasma levels of insulin and glucose. The plasma glucose levels were higher in fructose-fed rats than in controls at 15, 30, and 60 min after the oral glucose load. Treatment with 2% taurine in drinking water prevented the blood pressure elevation and attenuated the hyperinsulinemia in fructose-fed rats. The exaggerated glucose levels in response to the oral glucose load was also prevented by taurine administration. Thus, taurine supplementation could be beneficial in circumventing metabolic alterations in insulin resistance.Key words: fructose feeding, hypertension, hyperinsulinemia, renal function, taurine.

A study on the effect of cherry leaf infusion (Muntingia calabura L.) on glucose levels of male white mice (Mus musculus) given glucose load. This study aims to see the effect of cherry leaf infusion (Muntingia calabura L.) to blood glucose levels of male white mice (Mus musculus) given glucose load as much as 0.65ml / 20gBB. This research used Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (TTGO) method. Animal experiments were divided into 6 groups. The negative control group was given only aquadest, the positive group was given metformin with the dosage of 1.3mg / 20gBB, the comparison group was given 0.65ml / 20gBB glucose solution, the treatment group was given cesen leaves infusion (Muntingia calabura L.) with concentration 5, 10 and 20 %. After each test animal was given 30 minutes treatment then given glucose 0.65ml / 20gBB orally. Then measured blood glucose levels of mice at minute 30-180. Based on the results of testing the infusion of kersen leaf (Muntingia calabura L.) showed that the concentrations of 5, 10 and 20% had decreased levels of white mice blood glucose (Mus musculus) with normal control. However, the results of the two-way ANOVA assay continued with the Post Hoc Tukey test showed that the concentration of 20% differed significantly with the concentrations of 5 and 10%. And the results obtained also indicate that the duration of administration may affect the decrease in blood glucose levels of mice (p <0.05).

Green tea extract (GTE) ingestion improves glucose homeostasis in healthy and diabetic humans, but the interactive effect of GTE and exercise is unknown. The present study examined the effect of short-term GTE supplementation on the glycemic response to an oral glucose load at rest and following an acute bout of exercise, as well as substrate oxidation during exercise. Eleven sedentary, overweight men with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≥5.6 mmol·L−1 (age, 34 ± 13 years; body mass index = 32 ± 5 kg·m−2; FPG = 6.8 ± 1.0; mean ± SD) ingested GTE (3× per day, 1050 mg·day–1 total) or placebo (PLA) for 7 days in a double-blind, crossover design. The effects of a 75-g glucose drink were assessed on 4 occasions during both GTE and PLA treatments: On days 1 and 5 at rest, and again following an acute bout of exercise on days 3 and 8. The glycemic response was assessed via an indwelling continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and venous blood draws. At rest, 1-h CGM glucose area under the curve was not different (P > 0.05), but the postexercise response was lower after GTE versus PLA (330 ± 53 and 393 ± 65 mmol·L−1·min−1, main effect of treatment, P < 0.05). The 1-h postprandial peaks in venous blood glucose (8.6 ± 1.6 and 9.8 ± 2.2 mmol·L−1) and insulin (96 ± 59 and 124 ± 68 μIU·ml−1) were also lower postexercise with GTE versus PLA (time × treatment interactions, P < 0.05). In conclusion, short-term GTE supplementation did not affect postprandial glucose at rest; however, GTE was associated with an attenuated glycemic response following a postexercise oral glucose load. These data suggest that GTE might alter skeletal muscle glucose uptake in humans.
