Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Tartary buckwheat is rich resistant protein and rutin. This study was performed to evaluate the effects of roast tartary buckwheat seed on obesity and diabetes prevention. It was suggested that buckwheat resistant protein may increase by heating the seed at high temperatures. Since buckwheat resistant protein was found to have binding activity with bile acids,it may have an effect on improving the pathology of diabetes, similar to cholestyramide. We investigated the effects of intake of roast tartary buckwheat seed on body weight and waist circumference in Japanese subjects. During the 4-week treatment period, the subjects ingested 5g of roast tartary buckwheat seed each meal. After the intervention, waist circumference and body weight were significantly decreased compare with baseline.
