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.

^† P < 0.05 as compared with the baseline and as compared with the noncoffee group.

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