Food texture affects glucose tolerance by altering pancreatic ?-cell function in mice consuming high-fructose corn syrup.


ABSTRACT: The incidence of metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, has increased steadily worldwide. Diet, beverages, and food texture can all markedly influence these metabolic disorders. However, the combined effects of food texture and beverages on energy metabolism remains unclear. In the present study, we examined the effect of food texture on energy metabolism in mice administered high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Mice were fed a soft or hard diet along with 4.2% HFCS or tap water. Body weight and total caloric intake were not affected by food texture irrespective of HFCS consumption. However, caloric intake from HFCS (i.e., drinking volume) and diet were higher and lower, respectively, in the hard food group than in the soft food group. The hard food group's preference for HFCS was absent in case of mice treated with the ?-opioid receptor antagonist naltrexone. Despite increased HFCS consumption, blood glucose levels were lower in the hard-diet group than in the soft-diet group. In HFCS-fed mice, insulin levels after glucose stimulation and insulin content in the pancreas were higher in the hard food group than the soft food group, whereas insulin tolerance did not differ between the groups. These food texture-induced differences in glucose tolerance were not observed in mice fed tap water. Thus, food texture appears to affect glucose tolerance by influencing pancreatic ?-cell function in HFCS-fed mice. These data shed light on the combined effects of eating habits and food texture on human health.
