Data are presented as mean ± SD.

1

P values represent the main effect of diet on the change from fasting day 1 to fasting day 2 and were detected with the use of a mixed ANOVA.

2

P values represent the main effect of diet on postprandial values and were detected with the use of a mixed ANOVA.

3

N = 41 (N = 17 females, N = 24 males).

4

N = 42 (N = 18 females, N = 24 males).

CON, control; HOMA %B, homeostatic model assessment of β-cell function; HP-TDR, high-protein total diet replacement.
