An oat bran meal influences blood insulin levels and related gene sets in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy subjects

Table 6 Fasting and incremental glucose, insulin and triglyceride concentrations at 30, 60, 120 and 180 min and glucose and insulin incremental area under the curve (IAUC) in healthy humans after the intake of oat bran meal and control meal. (Mean values with their standard errors, glucose/triglycerides n = 15; insulin n = 13)
