Description of the intervention arms, and introduction of abbreviations.
Intervention Arms (intake in combination with 2.5 dl coffee & 15 g cream) | |||
---|---|---|---|
Suf | 1: Sunflower oil (30 g) | low-caloric | 0% MCT |
C8 | 2: C8 (20 g) + Sunflower oil (10 g) | low-caloric | 67% MCT (C8) |
C8+Glu | 3: Glucose (50 g)— [15 min] = => C8 (20 g) + Sunflower oil (10 g) |
high-caloric | =Arm 2 + glucose |
Coc | 4: Coconut oil (30 g) | low-caloric | ≈62% MCT (mainly C12) |
Coc+Glu | 5: Glucose (50 g)— [15 min] = => Coconut oil (30 g) |
high-caloric | =Arm 4 + glucose |
C8+Coc | 6: Coconut oil (30 g) + C8 (20 g) | high-caloric | MCT-content of arm 2 + 4 |
Low-caloric ≈ 300 kcal; high-caloric ≈ 500 kcal.
Arm 1: Black was selected to represent the “control” arm.
Arm 2 and 4: Red and sand were arbitrarily chosen colors for C8 and Coc.
Arm 3 and 5: These arms correspond to 2 and 4, respectively (with glucose added). Colors are therefore the same as 2 and 4, but with lower opacity (in Figures 2, 5 they are striped, instead of changing opacity).
Arm 6: Blue was chosen arbitrarily as a contrasting color.
