Thirty-six participants (22 women and 14 men) completed the study. There was no difference was plasma glucose on the meal test days. Similarly, no differences was serum C-peptide
, and EE before the consumption of the 3 meals .
for plasma glucose lower after consumption of the CAB and the CAC meals than after that of the BAB meal, There was no difference in the peak glucose response or time response on the 3 meals . Maximum increases in insulin concentration for serum insulin were heterogeneous after the 3 meals: these measures were 36% and 32% lower, respectively, after consumption of the CAC meal than after that of the BAB meal. The maximum increases in insulin concentration for serum insulin after the CAB meal were in between but closer to those with the CAC meal than with the BAB meal. The maximum increases in insulin concentration and iAUC for serum insulin after the CAB meal were 15% and 17% lower, respec- tively, than after the BAB meal. The maximum increases in insulin concentration and iAUC for serum insulin after the CAC meal were 24% and 18% lower, respec- tively, than after the CAB meal. The maximum increases in C-peptide concentration and iAUC for C-peptide were not significantly different between the 3 meals. There was no significant difference in EE or in the respiratory quotient between the 3 meals.
