Comparación de la actividad glucémica postprandial en caninos sanos alimentados con cuatro tipos de dietas

This study compared postprandial glycemic activity in healthy canines fed four types of diets, aiming to optimize energy homeostasis and prevent metabolic disorders. The central problem was the lack of clear understanding regarding the specific effect of soluble fiber (psyllium) and complex carbohydrates (brown rice) on canine glycemic response. The methodology involved evaluating 24 healthy canines fed a control kibble, kibble with brown rice, kibble with psyllium, and kibble with both brown rice and psyllium, measuring capillary glucose at different post-ingestion times and performing bromatological analyses of the diets. Results showed that diets containing psyllium (Kibble + Psyllium and Kibble + Brown Rice + Psyllium) induced lower glucose peaks and a faster return to normoglycemia, reaching the peak at 60 minutes, unlike diets without psyllium which peaked at 30 minutes. A significant difference in postprandial glucose levels among the diets was confirmed, supporting the alternative hypothesis. Additionally, an improvement in fecal consistency was observed in the psyllium groups, and a significant influence of sex on maximum glucose concentration was noted, with males showing a better response. The Kibble + Brown Rice + Psyllium treatment in males demonstrated the most favorable glycemic regulation.
