¹Values are least squares means ± SEMs, n = 15. Labeled means in a row without a common letter differ, P < 0.05. *Represents a difference from 0 (baseline), P < 0.05. Post hoc analyses at individual time points were conducted using the Bonferroni adjustment for multiple comparisons. AI, augmentation index; AI_75, AI normalized to a heart rate of 75 beats/min; fRHI, Framingham reactive hyperemia index; RHI, reactive hyperemia index.

²Means represent postprandial values (240 min).

³Change scores were calculated by subtracting baseline values (0 min) from postprandial values (240 min).

⁴P value for the main effect of treatment.
