Assoc prof Elin Östman (EÖ) has been involved in research on glycaemic regulation since 1998. With a previous focus on the bioavailability of starch and its effects on postprandial blood glucose and hormonal responses, the research of EÖ has broadened to include how proteins and amino acids influence glucose and insulin responses. In addition, EÖ has an increasing focus on the relation between postprandial glucose profile and appetite regulation.
EÖ is a project leader within the Antidiabetic Food Centre at Lund University and has national and international collaborations with; clinically and experimentally oriented groups in diabetes research; scientists within food chemistry and food technology; technical researchers making mathematical modelling of glucose responses to foods; and food-related industries with an interest in food products with added health values.
