Abstract
Objective: To determine whether �²-glucan from yeast reduces waist circumference and improves lipid profile levels in overweight subjects. Design: Overweight subjects (n=44) were randomized, double blinded to receive 976 mg/d of �²-glucan or placebo for 6 weeks. Results: After 6 weeks of intervention, we found no significant change of average weight between the control and �²-glucan groups. Waist circumference (WC) in �²-glucan group decreased from week 2 (treatment group 88.83�±9.87 cm vs. control group 93.57�±5.03 cm, P<0.05) and continued decreasing to week 6 (treatment group 86.5�±8.9 cm vs. control group 94.69�±3.32 cm, P<0.05). The �²-glucan group also displayed better levels of triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Conclusion: Yeast �²-glucan supplement for 6 weeks has a great potential to reduce waist circumference and hyperlipidemia in overweight subjects.Biography
