The aim of the present study was to describe the effects of frequent consumption (five cups\/week over 8 weeks) of pulses (yellow peas, chickpeas, navy beans and lentils), compared with counselling to reduce energy intake by 2093\u00a0kJ\/d (500\u00a0kcal\/d), on risk factors of the MetSyn in two groups (nineteen and twenty-one subjects, respectively) of overweight or obese (mean BMI 32\u00b78\u00a0kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>) adults. Body weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting blood parameters and 24\u00a0h food intakes were measured at weeks 1, 4 and 8. Blood glucose, insulin, C-peptide, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and ghrelin were measured after a 75\u00a0g oral glucose load at weeks 1 and 8. At week 8, both groups reported reductions in energy intake, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, glycosylated Hb (HbA1c) and glucose AUC and homeostasis model of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) following the glucose load (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00\u00b705). However, HDL, fasting C-peptide and insulin AUC responses were dependent on diet (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00\u00b705). HDL and C-peptide increased by 4\u00b75 and 12\u00b73\u00a0%, respectively, in the pulse group, but decreased by 0\u00b78 and 7\u00b76\u00a0%, respectively, in the energy-restricted group. Insulin AUC decreased in both females and males on the energy-restricted diet by 24\u00b72 and 4\u00b78\u00a0%, respectively, but on the pulse diet it decreased by 13\u00b79\u00a0% in females and increased by 27\u00b73\u00a0% in males (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00\u00b705). In conclusion, frequent consumption of pulses in an<jats:italic>ad libitum<\/jats:italic>diet reduced risk factors of the MetSyn and these effects were equivalent, and in some instances stronger, than counselling for dietary energy reduction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0007114512000712","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,8,23]],"date-time":"2012-08-23T12:49:20Z","timestamp":1345726160000},"page":"S111-S122","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":87,"title":["Regular consumption of pulses for 8 weeks reduces metabolic syndrome risk factors in overweight and obese adults"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"108","author":[{"given":"R.
