Figure 7

The delta blood glucose levels in humans at 0–120 minutes after administration of 200 g of rice with 0 g (control in the panel) and 1.5 g of BLP (BLP in the panel). The high glucose group ( ) is composed of subjects whose levels were above the blood glucose level means between 0 and30 minutes after placebo administration. Similarly, the low glucose group ( ) is composed of those whose levels were below the blood glucose level means between 0 and 30 minutes after placebo administration. Each data point represents mean ± SEM. A significant 3-way interaction was found among the effects of BLP, time after administration, and glucose level ( , 3-way ANOVA). Delta blood glucose levels without a common letter differ ( , multiple comparisons).
