Zusammenfassung
Introduction: Whey protein (WP) is commonly used by recreational athletes. WP may influence postprandial blood glucose levels by slowing gastric emptying and stimulating insulin secretion. However, both effects require further investigation. Objectives: This pilot study aimed to assess postprandial blood glucose responses to interventions with WP, egg protein, and meat protein, compared to an isocaloric glucose bolus. Methods: Ethical approval for this within-subject study design was obtained from the institutional ethics board. Four recreational athletes were recruited, each provided informed consent for five-h…
