| dc.description.abstract | An investigation on the effect of cooking salt and reagent grade laboratory salt on glyceamic response was carried out in albino rats. Oral glucose load of 3.0 g/kg body weight (b.wt) was given with or without addition of 0.9% cooking or laboratory salt. Both types of salt caused significantly higher (P<0.05) peak plasma glucose concentration (PPGC) at 60 minutes after loading (cooking salt: 10.4+2.4 mmol/l; laboratory salt: 10.0+1.2 mmol/l) than the control (PPGC of 7.6+0.3 mmol/l). Moreover, the PPGC of the salt treated groups was not brought down to the normal level at 120 minutes unlike in the control where the level fell to 6.8+0.3 mmol/l at 120 minutes. The glucose tolerance index (GTI), determined as area under the glucose tolerance curve, was higher (P<0.05) in the animals treated with laboratory salt (234.0+25.6mmol.min/l) and cooking salt (251.3+21.8 mmol.min/l) when compared to the control (51.0+15.9 mmol.min/l). It was therefore concluded that both types of salt increased glaceamic response to glucose challenge. The results imply a beneficial effect of salt restriction on glycaemic control. | en_US |
