Total antioxidant capacity was significantly higher during the low-GI diet compared to the high-GI diet under fasting conditions, with total ORAC values of 11,736 +/- 668 vs. 10,381 +/- 612 micromol Trolox equivalents/l (P = 0.002).
Practitioners may consider recommending low-GI diets to enhance antioxidant capacity in overweight or obese individuals.
