FIGURE 4.

Sex differences in postprandial glucose among 25 women and 25 men after high-fat meals rich in interesterified palm olein, native palm olein, lard, and high-oleic sunflower oils. Women (A) and men (B) consumed, in random order, 4 different high-fat meals (50 g) rich in interesterified palm olein, palm olein, lard, or high-oleic acid sunflower oil. The postprandial response to glucose in women was relatively flat, which suggests faster removal of glucose from plasma. Values are geometric means with 95% CIs. For changes from fasting for the meal × times interaction, P = 0.34 for both genders combined, P = 0.38 for women, and P = 0.39 for men. IE, interesterified. Data are from reference 54.
