Abbreviations: CCK, cholecystokinin; GIP, glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide; GLP1, glucagonlike peptide 1; IGT, impaired glucose intolerance; NGT, normal glucose tolerance; PYY, protein YY.

Values are presented (area under the curve) as pmol/L per min (CCK, glucagon, GIP, GLP1, and PYY), mg/dL per min (glucose), pg/mL per min (ghrelin) and as nmol/L (C-peptide)

a

P values are vs corresponding nutrient, NGT.
