Summary

To examine the differential effect of camel and cow milk on the physiological response, to a liquid mixed-meal challenge, in people with normal glucose tolerance

Detailed description

Camel milk is used as a traditional remedy throughout the Middle East and Indian Subcontinent for conditions such as type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia. It is currently unclear how such an effect could be mediated in vivo and studies are limited. We performed this study as a pilot experiment to assess the effects of camel milk on Insulin, Glucose, GLP-1, C-peptide and Lipid profile.

Conditions
