Abstract

Purpose: This study compared the effects of a high glycemic load (high GL) diet and low glycemic load (low GL) diet on the body weight, body fat, blood pressure, and blood lipid indicators. Methods: Twenty-one young adults aged between 21 and 28 years who were overweighted or obese (body mass index [BMI] between 23 and 33.5 kg/㎡) before the study and after calorie reduction diets with either low GL or high GL for 2 weeks each were examined. The study was a randomized crossover design with a 2-week washout period between the 2 types of diet. The order of the low GL and high GL diet periods was randomized. The body weight, body fat, blood pressure, levels of blood lipids, fasting glucose, insulin, homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) insulin, C-peptide, and HOMA C-peptide were measured at the baseline, as well as 2, 4, and 6 weeks after starting the experiment. Results: When subjects were on the low GL diet, they lost more weight than those eating the high GL diet (mean ± SD, -2.77 ± 1.09 vs. -1.56 ± 0.78 kg; p < 0.001); there were greater decreases in body fat mass (-1.62 ± 1.19 vs. -0.88 ± 0.91 kg; p = 0.024) and BMI (-0.95 ± 0.32 vs. -0.56 ± 1.08 kg/㎡; p < 0.001). On the other hand, there were no significant differences in changes in biochemical parameters, such as blood lipids and fasting glucose levels, and blood pressure. The body weight, body fat mass, BMI, percent body fat, blood pressure, cholesterol (total, low-density lipoprotein, and high-density lipoprotein), fasting glucose, C-peptide, HOMA-insulin resistance-C-peptide levels were decreased significantly at 6 weeks. Conclusion: The low GL diet may be more effective in losing body weight, body fat mass, and BMI than the high GL diet for 2 weeks in healthy young overweight or obese adults.

본 연구에서는 한국인이 평소 섭취하는 일반식사와 유사한 수준의 당부하량을 가진 high GL 식사와 당부하량이 낮게 설계된 low GL 식사를 섭취한 후 체중, 체지방, 혈압 및 혈액 내 생활습관병 위험 지표 등의 변화를 분석 및 비교하였다. 20대 성인남녀를 대상으로 체중 감량을 위해 wash-out 기간인 중간 2주를 제외하고 개인 필요 열량의 30%를 줄인 low GL 식사와 high GL 식사를 각 2주간 제공하였다. Low GL 식사와 high GL 식사의 효과를 비교한 결과 low GL 식사가 high GL 식사에 비해 체중 (p < 0.001), 체지방량 (p = 0.024), 체질량지수 (p < 0.001)에서 유의적으로 감소량이 더 컸다. 하지만 혈압, 혈액 내 비만 질환 위험 지표에서는 유의한 차이가 없었다. Low GL 식사의 전·후를 비교한 결과 체중, 체지방량, 체질량지수, 체지방률, 이완기 혈압, 중성지방, 총콜레스테롤, HDL-콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤, 공복혈당, C-peptide HOMA 지수가, high GL 식사에서는 체중, 체지방량, 체질량지수, 총콜레스테롤, HDL-콜레스테롤, 공복혈당, C-peptide, C-peptide HOMA 지수에서 각 식사 전보다 후에 유의적으로 감소되었다. 또한 실험 식사 섭취 전과 섭취 후를 비교한 결과 체중, 체지방량, 체질량지수, 체지방률, 혈압 (수축기, 이완기), 총콜레스테롤, HDL-콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤, 공복혈당, 당화혈색소, C-peptide, C-peptide HOMA 지수가 모두 유의적으로 감소되었다. 본 연구 결과 체중감량 및 생활습관병 위험을 줄이기 위해서는 단순히 섭취 열량을 낮추기보다는 열량과 함께 당부하량을 고려하여 섭취하는 것이 체중을 감소시키는 데에 더 효과적일 것으로 사료된다.
