5. Conclusions
overweight or obese free-living
In conclusion, 7-day feeding of 100% elderberry juice increases postprandial CHO oxidation following a high-sugar MTT but does not affect serum glucose or insulin in a small sample of overweight or obese free-living participants. Elderberry juice is well tolerated, and follow-up work with more robust designs, controlling background diet with adequate statistical power, and testing similar glucoregulatory and calorimetry measures are warranted to confirm these potentially beneficial outcomes.
