n increased intake of total DF was inversely associated with markers of insulin resistance in several studies

consumption of insoluble DF increased whole body glucose disposal independent of changes in body weight in both short-term and more prolonged studies

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) such as acetate, propionate, and butyrate are produced by bacterial fermentation of indigestible DF polysaccharides in the colon

increased production of SCFA is assumed to be beneficial by reducing hepatic glucose output and improving lipid homeostasis

a high DF diet (oligofructose) reduced gram-negative bacterial content and body weight, whereas a high fat diet increased the proportion of a gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) containing microbiota in humans

Prospective cohort studies indicate that diets high in insoluble cereal DF and whole grains might reduce diabetes risk

soluble DF (i.e., pectin, inulin, and β-glucans)

cereal DF (i.e., cellulose and hemicelluloses)
