Postprandial plasma glucose AUC and serum insulin AUC in healthy subjects after the ingestion of a meal with or without (reference) green tea.

	Glucose AUC (mmol·min/l)		Insulin AUC (mU·min/l)
Time	Reference	Green tea	Reference	Green tea
0-15 min	8.9 ± 1.7	7.1 ± 0.9	111.5 ± 15.6	124.3 ± 18.6
0-30 min	42.9 ± 5.4	39.1 ± 3.3	537.5 ± 60.5	542.8 ± 54.8
0-45 min	89.3 ± 9.3	88.4 ± 7.1	1166.8 ± 109.2	1142.8 ± 88.2
0-60 min	124.2 ± 13.3	127.9 ± 12.8	1711.9 ± 131.6	1619.7 ± 103.9
0-90 min	161.9 ± 21.4	179.5 ± 19.7	2469.5 ± 175.2	2163.9 ± 148.2
0-120 min	177.8 ± 24.7	204.3 ± 22.2	2902.2 ± 224.0	2434.5 ± 168.5

All values are means ± SEM, n = 14 for glucose, n = 13 for insulin. No significant differences were found between plasma glucose and serum insulin AUCs following the various meals according to Wilcoxon's signed rank sum test.
