hs-CRP, high sensitive C-reactive protein; ND, non-detectable; sICAM1, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1; sVCAM1, soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1; OxLDL, oxidized LDL; ORAC, oxygen radical absorbance capacity; HOMA, homeostasis model assessment. a Baseline labs were calculated as the mean of the baseline (fasting) values from each study day. b Only measured in the fasting state. c Despite being analyzed in two different labs by two different lab technicians, both fasting and postprandial results were non-detectable. The minimum detectable level was 0.03 pg/mL. d Normal HOMA-insulin resistance is 1 [15]. e Normal HOMA-β cell function is 100% [15]. f n = 11 for total ORAC.
