Glucose, insulin, and triglyceride levels (including all subjects, mean value ± standard deviation) for all meals at each time point. Subjects with metabolic syndrome are shown separately from subjects without metabolic syndrome for triglycerides, because triglyceride levels were substantially higher overall in metabolic syndrome subjects. Glucose and insulin levels both peaked at the 30 min time point, while triglycerides showed a gradual increase continuing through the 2.5 h time point. At 2 h, glucose was comparable to baseline levels. MS, metabolic syndrome; N, subjects without metabolic syndrome.
