Polyphenols are bioactive secondary metabolites of plants and algae with potential to moderate postprandial glycaemia. This study investigated whether a polyphenol-rich alga (Fucus vesiculosus) extract moderated postprandial glycaemia in the evening in healthy adults. In a double blind, placebo-controlled, randomised three-way crossover trial, 18 participants consumed a polyphenol-rich extract, a cellulose placebo and rice flour placebo (7:15 p.m.) prior to 50 g available carbohydrate from bread (7:45 p.m.), followed by three hours of blood sampling to assess glucose and insulin. A subset of participants (n = 8) completed the same protocol once in the morning with only the cellulose placebo (7:15 a.m.). No effect of the polyphenol-rich extract was observed on postprandial glycaemia in the evening, compared with placebos, in the group as a whole. However, in females only, peak blood glucose concentration was reduced following the polyphenol-rich extract. In the subset analysis, as expected, participants exhibited elevated postprandial blood glucose in the evening compared with the morning following the cellulose placebo. This was the first study to investigate whether a polyphenol intervention moderated evening postprandial hyperglycaemia. The lowering effect observed in females suggests that this warrants further investigation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/antiox8020049","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,25]],"date-time":"2019-02-25T03:06:52Z","timestamp":1551064012000},"page":"49","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["A Single-Dose of a Polyphenol-Rich Fucus Vesiculosus Extract is Insufficient to Blunt the Elevated Postprandial Blood Glucose Responses Exhibited by Healthy Adults in the Evening: A Randomised Crossover Trial"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3767-6947","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Margaret","family":"Murray","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food, Monash University, Notting Hill VIC 3168, Australia"},{"name":"School of Chemistry, Monash University, Clayton, VIC 3800, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0405-3164","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aimee L.","family":"Dordevic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food, Monash University, Notting Hill VIC 3168, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lisa","family":"Ryan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Science and Computing, Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, Galway H91 T8NW, Ireland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maxine P.","family":"Bonham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food, Monash University, Notting Hill VIC 3168, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"569","DOI":"10.2337\/diacare.23.5.569","article-title":"Impaired glucose tolerance","volume":"23","author":"Ipp","year":"2000","journal-title":"Diabetes Care"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"635","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2011.08.080","article-title":"Pre-diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular risk","volume":"59","author":"Grundy","year":"2012","journal-title":"J.
