OGTT performed sampling 15 minutes before and 30, 60, 90, 120, and 240 minutes after the oral assumption of 75 g of glucose. Values are mean ± SD. Values are mean ± SEM. Values are mean (CIs), confidence intervals (95%). A brief description is inserted in the table when numerical data are not available in the original article. The units were made uniform to show more comparable results. value: ≤0.05; ≤0.01; ≤0.001: comparison posttreatment experimental group versus control. value: ≤0.05; ≤0.01; ≤0.001: comparison posttreatment with respect to baseline. Data at baseline are not shown in the table. |
