Abstract

Acute protein co-ingestion or a single bout of aerobic exercise can attenuate postprandial glycemia, but their combined effect has not been investigated in type 2 diabetics. Using a randomised crossover design, male type 2 diabetics (n = 8) [mean (95% CI); age, 55.0 (45.2, 64.8) year; BMI, 33.7 (25.6, 41.8) kg·m- 2; 2 h glucose 14.0 (12.5, 15.5) mM] completed (1) 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) (CON); (2) OGTT supplemented with 0.33 g·kg BM- 1 of whey protein concentrate (PRO); or OGTT supplemented with PRO but preceded by a bout of aerobic cycling exercise (PRO + EX). Postprandial venous blood samples were collected for glucose, insulin, C-peptide and glucagon. Despite a fold-increase of 1.90 (1.26, 2.56; p < 0.05) in postprandial insulin compared to CON, PRO failed to attenuate postprandial glycemia measured by 2 h glucose area under the curve. During PRO + EX, plasma glucose was elevated by 1.51 (0.5, 2.5) mM and 1.3 (0.3, 2.3) mM at 15 and 30 min, respectively, compared to CON, but was lower by 1.60 (0.6, 2.6) mM and 1.5 (0.5, 2.5) mM at 90 and 120 min, respectively (all p < 0.01). The additive effect of exercise and protein ingestion resulted in a fold-increase of 1.67 (1.35, 2.00; p < 0.05) in postprandial glucagon compared to CON. In type 2 diabetics, prior aerobic exercise altered the humoral response to co-ingestion of whey protein with a carbohydrate load, but neither protein ingestion alone nor when preceded by prior exercise attenuated postprandial glycemia.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 13. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 July 2018.
All research outputs
#2,796,436
of 25,385,509 outputs
Outputs from European Journal of Applied Physiology
#886
of 4,345 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#54,947
of 341,012 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Journal of Applied Physiology
#17
of 60 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,385,509 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 88th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,345 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.7. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 341,012 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 60 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its contemporaries.
