FIG. 2.

Box-and-Whisker plot of postprandial blood glucose total AUC after the meals higher protein pasta, regular pasta, and white rice. The left subplot illustrates the total AUC during the 0–3 h postprandial period, the middle subplot shows the total AUC during the late postprandial period 3–5 h, and the right subplot shows the total AUC for the entire postprandial period 0–5 h. The three asterisks indicate statistical significance with P < 0.001, whereas the one asterisk shows P < 0.05 for differences between the total AUC of the three meal types as computed from the linear mixed effect model. AUC, area under the curve.
