Postprandial Response Control

Meaning

Postprandial Response Control refers to the precise, homeostatic regulation of the body’s metabolic and hormonal changes that occur immediately following the ingestion of a meal, specifically focusing on the management of blood glucose and insulin levels. Effective control involves rapid, proportionate insulin secretion and efficient nutrient uptake by peripheral tissues, minimizing the amplitude and duration of the blood glucose spike. Optimized postprandial control is a critical marker of metabolic flexibility and a key strategy for preventing insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk.
