The effects of interventions on postprandial metabolism of selected metabolites and insulin response. A meal test was performed in overnight fasted patients at baseline and at week 24. Transient postprandial increases in serum concentrations of various analytes were evaluated during 120 min following a standard breakfast. The difference between total AUC for each analyte measured at week 24 and baseline (∆AUC) is shown for glucose (a) C-peptide (b) NEFA (c) and triacylglycerol TG; (d). Plots represent 10^th, 25^th, 50^th (median), 75^th, and 90^th percentiles. Significant differences (Kruskal-Wallis test) between the subgroups are indicated
