Absolute change from baseline in glucose (A), insulin (B) and triglycerides (C) in response to a meal containing MCT oil (black squares) and LCT oil (open squares) in Study 2. Blood samples were obtained after consumption of a liquid meal containing 20 g of either MCT oil or corn oil (LCT). Data were analyzed using linear mixed model, controlling for body weight. The meal was provided immediately before the time 0 blood draw. There was a significant effect of oil type on glucose (P = 0.0017) and a trend for insulin (P = 0.13). There was a significant effect of time on insulin (P = 0.017) and a time x oil interaction on triglycerides (P = 0.0046). Data represent means ± SEM, n = 7.
