Short-term Effects of Juice Consumption With Biofunctional Compounds and Probiotics on Subjective Appetite

Twenty-three healthy adults with normal weight and twenty-three healthy adults with overweight consumed a standardized breakfast consisting of 2 slices of white bread and honey (350 kcal in total) after a 12-hour fast. Two hours later they were offered 347 mL of the enriched orange juice (containing 50 g available carbohydrates), and 3 hours after the preload they were offered an ad libitum lunch (chicken breast with white rice). Foods were weighed at the time of serving and any leftovers were weighed again after lunch to determine the amount of food consumed. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples and visual analog scales (VAS) of 100 mm were collected at baseline and at 60, 120, 135, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300, 330, 360, 390, and 420 minutes after breakfast consumption. Blood pressure was measured at baseline, 120, 300, and 420 minutes.
