Table 3.

Mean outcomes for each test oil. Data are raw means ± SD, n=14, for the 6 h postprandial period (resting energy expenditure, thermic effect of food and respiratory quotient) or 3 h sampling period (glucose, insulin, triglycerides, leptin, peptide YY). Blood samples were analyzed for completers of phase 2 only, n=10.
