Fasting and 120-min values for glucose and insulin during an oral glucose tolerance test.
Baseline n = 17 | Baseline after Exercise n = 17 | LCHF n = 17 | LCHF after Exercise n = 17 | |
Glucose (mmol/L) | ||||
Fasting (0 min) | 4.7 ± 0.1 | 4.4 ± 0.1∗ | 4.4 ± 0.1∗ | 4.4 ± 0.1 |
120 min | 5.1 ± 0.3 | 4.6 ± 0.2∗ | 5.4 ± 0.3 | 6.2 ± 0.4**§ |
Insulin (pmol/L) | ||||
Fasting (0 min) | 40 ± 5 | 39 ± 6 | 40 ± 6 | 39 ± 6 |
120 min | 313 ± 45 | 223 ± 25 | 317 ± 37 | 352 ± 57∗∗ |
Matsuda index | 7.6 ± 1.1 | 9.9 ± 2.3 | 7.5 ± 0.9 | 6.0 ± 0.6∗∗ |
HOMA2-IR | 0.74 ± 0.08 | 0.71 ± 0.11 | 0.73 ± 0.11 | 0.76 ± 0.11 |
Insulin sensitivity was calculated as Matsuda and HOMA2- IR. Values shown for baseline and after 3 weeks on a LCHF diet, before and after one bout of exercise. Data are shown as mean ± SEM. ∗P ≤ 0.05 vs. Baseline, ∗∗P ≤ 0.05 vs. baseline after exercise, §P ≤ 0.05 vs. LCHF.
