5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This survey is designed to investigate the effect of highland barley β-glucan supplementation on the regulatory of blood glucose, gut microbiota and cardiovascular risk fators in subjects with hyperglycemia.
Detailed Description
Highland barley β-glucan belongs to the group of prebiotics and has been found to be associated with multiple health benefits. However, its protective role in subjects with hyperglycemia are remain unclear. This study aims to examine the effect of 8-week prebiotics supplementation on glucose management in subjects with hyperglycemia. By understanding the mechanism by which prebiotics exert the beneficial effects, we can better control the rising prevalence of hyperglycemia, which is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.
