 Caffeine Ingestion Elevates Plasma Insulin Response in Humans During an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (Journal Abstract) |
Added on: 9/18/2002 | Hits: 42 |
| From the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada and the Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, 2001: A research team studied the hypothesis that caffeine ingestion leads to higher glucose and higher insulin levels. Study participants ingested caffeine followed by a glucose tolerance test (GTT)one hour later. The researchers noted that the participants' insulin levels rose. The researchers concluded that caffeine ingestion may contribute to insulin resistance. |
