Effects of yacon syrup on postprandial blood glucose in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: A double-blind randomized clinical trial
Background & Aims
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a highly prevalent endocrine disorder that affects women of reproductive age worldwide. Important metabolic alterations, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance (IR), and impaired glucose metabolism aggravate PCOS, especially in those who are overweight and obese. Certain root vegetables, such as the tuberous root of yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius), shows potential antidiabetic activity for improving human health. This study evaluates the effect of yacon syrup on postprandial blood glucose response in overweight or obese women with PCOS.
Methods
We conducted a randomized crossover trial lasting fifteen days, with 5 days of intervention and a washout period of 3 days, involving 20 patients diagnosed as overweight or obese with PCOS. We performed a biochemical and anthropometric evaluation of daily food consumption. Yacon syrup and placebo were administered at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We monitored blood glucose pre-meal, immediate post-meal, 1 hour post-meal, and 2 hours post-meal. A total of 20 women with PCOS were evaluated: 60% (n=12) overweight and 40% (n=8) obese, with a mean age of 27.15 (±5.92) years.
Results
There were no significant differences in food consumption (P < 0.05). However, blood glucose data revealed differences in immediate postprandial blood glucose at meals in general (P = 0.007) and in immediate postprandial blood glucose at breakfast and dinner (P= 0.03 and P = 0.034, respectively).
Conclusion
The findings suggest that the consumption of yacon syrup as part of meals in overweight or obese women with PCOS may contribute to moderating immediate postprandial glycemic response. This effect could be beneficial in reducing glucose fluctuations following meals.
