3.1. Glucose, Insulin, and C-Peptide
The time courses of glucose, insulin, and Fasting state. Fasting plasma glucose, insulin, and Glucose. After the Mediterranean meal, glucose concentration increased and reached an incremental peak of 24 ± 3 mg/dL at 20 min, then decreased and returned to baseline at 60 min (Fisher LSD Insulin. After the Mediterranean meal, insulin concentration increased and reached an incremental peak of 457 ± 99 pmol/L at 20 min, which was 12.4 ± 1.9 fold the basal concentration, then it decreased but remained elevated until the end of the study. After the ketogenic meal, insulin concentration increased significantly to reach an incremental peak of 44 ± 10 pmol/L at 30 min, which was 2.2 ± 0.4 fold the basal concentration, then it slowly decreased and returned to the basal concentration at 180 min (Fisher LSD C-peptide. After the Mediterranean meal,
