Low-calcium diet prevents fructose-induced hyperinsulinemia and ameliorates the response to glucose load in rats.

CONCLUSIONS: Low-calcium diet prevented fructose-induced hyperinsulinemia and improved glucose handling under conditions of fructose feeding. Potential mechanisms underlying these effects of the low-calcium diet remain to be determined, but possibilities include impairment of insulin release from the pancreas and improved peripheral insulin sensitivity.
