BLOOD
Metabolic tests were conducted at week 0 and 12 in all groups. Participants arrived at 07:30 h at the Research Unit following a 12 h overnight fast. A cannula was inserted for collection of fasting blood (30 mL) immediately prior to consuming a 75 g oral glucose drink (Carbotest, POCD scientific). Participants consumed the glucose drink within 5 min. Blood samples were collected at 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 min after consumption. Serum and plasma were immediately placed on ice, centrifuged at 4 °C, and frozen to −80 °C for later analysis.
