The iAUCs for plasma glucose and serum insulin are
shown in Table 2. All test meals elicited lower postprandial
blood glucose responses, expressed as iAUC 0–120
min, compared with the reference (WWB) (p < 0.05). A
significant treatment effect (p = 0.0002) and a significant
time × treatment interaction (p = 0.0265) was found for
blood glucose concentrations (Figure 1). The insulin
iAUC following human milk, bovine milk and casein
was similar to that seen with WWB. In contrast, the
whey meal exhibited higher insulin iAUC 0–120 min,
than the WWB (p < 0.05). Additionally, the whey meal
resulted in an elevated insulin response (iAUC 0–120
min) also when compared with data for casein and
human milk. No time × treatment interaction was found
for insulin responses
