Table 4. Comparison of calculated GI and GL and actual GI and GL of the individual test meals.

^aNumbers in parentheses are percentages of the rice GI

^bNumbers in parentheses are percentages of the rice GL

¹⁾GI obtained from the University of Sydney (http://www.glycemicindex.com) and nutrition data (http://nutritiondata.self.com/topics/glycemic-index#ixzz35Q0hDq93) databases

²⁾Calculated meal glycemic index (Meal GI-C) = ${\sum }_{\text{i=1}}^{\text{n}}\frac{\mathrm{F}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{d}\mathrm{\hspace{0.25em}}\mathrm{G}\mathrm{I}\mathrm{\hspace{0.25em}}\times \mathrm{\hspace{0.25em}}\mathrm{f}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{d}\mathrm{\text{'}}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{\hspace{0.25em}}\mathrm{c}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{b}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{h}\mathrm{y}\mathrm{d}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{t}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{\hspace{0.25em}}\left(\mathrm{g}\right)\mathrm{i}}{\mathrm{M}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{l}\mathrm{\text{'}}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{\hspace{0.25em}}\mathrm{t}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{t}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{l}\mathrm{\hspace{0.25em}}\mathrm{c}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{b}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{h}\mathrm{y}\mathrm{d}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{t}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{\hspace{0.25em}}\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}$

³⁾Measured meal glycemic index (Meal GI-S) = Food iAUC × 100/glucose iAUC

⁴⁾Calculated Meal glycemic load (Meal GL-C) = (Food's carbohydrate (g) × Calculated meal GI)/100

⁵⁾Measured meal glycemic load (Meal GL-S) = (Food's carbohydrate (g) × Meal GI from the study)/100

⁶⁾P-value for comparison between rice and RE (Wilcoxon signed-rank test)

⁷⁾P-value for comparison between rice and RS (Wilcoxon signed-rank test)

⁸⁾P-value for comparison between rice and RO (Wilcoxon signed-rank test)

⁹⁾P-value for comparison between rice and RESO (Wilcoxon signed-rank test)

n = 12 (6 men and 6 women)

GI, glycemic index; GL, glycemic load; iAUC, incremental area under the curve.
