Profile of cholesterol and glucose on the various age of volunteers with composite flour diet

Abstract

Abstract The preliminary research showed that the glycemic index (GI) group of the composite flour made of Growol cassava and mung bean flour as raw material of artificial rice was low, so the composite flour might be potential for reducing blood glucose. This research is aimed to determine the profile of cholesterol and glucose level on the various age of volunteers with composite flour diet. The treatment of the research was the age group of volunteer and the diet treatment. There were three group volunteers based on the age, that were 15 – 26; 27 – 38; and 39 – 50 years old. The volunteers were adapted for 4 days with steamed rice diet as a normal diet, then were treated with composite flour as diet treatment for 16 days. The composite flour was formed like rice and steamed before used as the treatment. The blood trygliseride, total cholesterol, LDL and HDL cholesterol, and glucose level of the volunteers were analysed on 4th, 8th, 12 th, and 16th days for the treatment and before the treatment as control (0th). The result of this research showed that the potency of hypocholesterolemic of the diet treatment were shown by decreasing of blood LDL cholesterol at the age group of the 39 – 50 years old. The potency of hypoglycemic of the treatment were shown by decreasing of blood glucose level of volunteers at the all of age group. That was indicated that the composite flour might be potential to normalize cholesterol and glucose.
