Table 2.

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.
