C-reactive protein (mg/L)†	−0.39 (1.54)	0.18 (0.62)	−0.12 (0.57)	0.80

AUC: area under the curve; HMW: high-molecular weight; HOMA-IR: homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; ISI: insulin sensitivity index.

Values in parentheses are standard deviations.

*Overall difference based on Kruskal-Wallis test.

^†Hour was used for the time scale in the oral glucose tolerance test.

^‡Number of the subjects in the decaffeinated coffee group was 13.
