Mean (± standard error of mean (SD)) 50% and 100% emptying time (min), gastric retention (%), rate of gastric emptying (kcal/min), and amount emptied (area under the curve (AUC), %) during the early (0–60 min) and late phase (60–180 min) of gastric emptying (n = 11 healthy young men) of a control drink (450 mL; ~2 kcal/‘control’) or iso-volumetric drinks containing protein/carbohydrate/fat: (i) 14 g/28 g/12.4 g (280 kcal/‘M280′); (ii) 70 g/28 g/12.4 g (504 kcal/‘M504′); or (iii) 70 g/0 g/0 g (280 kcal/‘P280′). 1 Rate of gastric emptying was calculated as mean of rates of emptying during each 15-min interval, respectively. Main effects of drink-condition were determined by repeated-measures ANOVA with post hoc Bonferroni corrections. a,b,c, P < 0.05, post hoc test: Different letter indicates significant difference between drink conditions (e.g., 50% emptying time: P280 (b) slower than M280 (c), which are slower than control (a), not different from M504 (b)).
