Methods Study design: non‐randomised controlled trial (cross‐over study)
Participants Inclusion criteria: no specific inclusion criteria mentioned
Exclusion criteria: no specific exclusion criteria mentioned
Diagnostic criteria: being healthy
Setting: experimental setting in healthy volunteers
Age group: 16 healthy adults (mean (± SE), age 21.8 ± 0.78 years
Gender distribution: 2 females and 14 males
Country where study was performed: Czech Republic
Interventions Intervention: buccal treatment: 10 glucose spray doses (five doses on the mucosa of each cheek, without swallowing)
Comparators: oral treatments:
