Determination of Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load of Selected Melon Varieties in Healthy Adults
Sponsor: Rehman Medical Institute - RMI
Summary
This crossover study aims to determine and compare the glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) of different melon varieties in healthy adults. Using glucose as the reference food, participants will consume test portions of each melon variety containing equivalent amounts of available carbohydrates.
