FIGURE 2.

Responses of, (A) plasma glucose concentration, (B) plasma insulin concentration, (C) insulin resistance index (HOMA‐IR), and (D) Matsuda‐index after 10–12 h fast and in response to a meal‐test containing 86 gr of simple sugars in the four experimental trials. Data are presented as mean ± SEM for 21 hypercholesterolemic pre‐diabetic individuals with metabolic syndrome. Data collected during MMTT in repeated time points (plasma insulin and glucose) were unified as a single value by conversion to area under the curve
