application/pdf, D-Allose is one of the rare sugars present in small quantities in nature. We studied the effect of D-allose on glycemic responses after oral carbohydrate tolerance test in rats. Male Wistar rats (13 weeks old) were administrated (2g/kg body weight) glucose, sucrose, maltose, or soluble starch together with (0, 0.2 or 0.5g/kg body weight) D-allose. D-Allose has no inhibitory effect of the increment of plasma glucose concentration in all of cases. These results suggest that D-allose is an ineffective monosaccharide on glycemic response after carbohydrate ingestion.
