LOWER GLYCEMIC RESPONSE AFTER MILK/MILK PROTEIN, IN COMPARISON WITH WHITE WHEAT BREAD Abstract Background:Dairy proteins, in particular the whey fraction, exert insulinogenic properties and facilitate glycemic regulation through a mechanism involving elevation of certain plasma amino acids, and stimulation of incretins. Human milk is rich in whey protein and has not been investigated in this respect. Method:Nine healthy volunteers were served test meals consisting of human milk, bovine milk, reconstituted bovine whey- or casein protein in random order. All test meals contributed with 25g intrinsic or added lactose, and a white wheat bread (WWB) meal was used as reference, providing 25g starch. Post-prandial levels in plasma of glucose, insulin, incretins and amino acids were investigated at time intervals for up to 2 h. Results: All test meals elicited lower postprandial blood glucose responses, expressed as iAUC 0–120 min compared with the WWB (P
