Region of Enrollment

Body weight was evaluated through a bioimpedance digital scale and results are reported in kg with a decimal.

Body mass index

Waist circumference was measured with a flexible tape in them id point between the lowest rib and the iliac crest and is expressed in centimeters.

Waist circumference

Blood pressure was evaluated with a digital sphygmomanometer with the subject sited down on a chair after a resting period of 5 minutes on three occasions. The mean of the three measures was considered as the value of diastolic blood pressure (DBP). The value was expressed on mmHg

Systolic blood pressure

Blood pressure was evaluated with a digital sphygmomanometer with the subject sited down on a chair after a resting period of 5 minutes on three occasions. The mean of the three measures was considered as the value of diastolic blood pressure (DBP). The value was expressed on mmHg.

Diastolic blood pressure

The blood sample for determining of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), was taken after an overnight fast and was evaluated by spectrophotometry method. The value was expressed on mmol/L.

Fasting plasma glucose

The blood sample for determining of 2-hour plasma glcuose (2-h PG), was taken two hours after the ingestion of the drink with 75 g dextrose and was evaluated by spectrophotometry method. The value was expressed on mmol/L.

2-hour plasma glucose

Glycated hemoglobin A1c

The blood sample for determining of triglycerides (TG), was taken after an overnight fast and was evaluated by spectrophotometry method. The value was expressed on mmol/L.

Triglycerides

The blood sample for determining of total cholesterol (TC) , was taken after an overnight fast and was evaluated by spectrophotometry method. The value was expressed on mmol/L.

Total cholesterol

The blood sample for determining of HDL-C, was taken after an overnight fast and was evaluated by colorimetric method. The value was expressed on mmol/L.

High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)

The blood sample for determining of LDL-C, was taken after an overnight fast and was calculated by Friedewald formula. The value was expressed on mmol/L.

Total insulin secretion was calculated with the Insulinogenic index (Δ ABC insulin / Δ ABC glucose).

Total insulin secretion

Calculated by Stumvoll index [1283 + 1.829 · insulin 30 min (pmol/L) -138.7 · glucose 30 min (mmol/L) + 3.772 · insulin 0 min (pmol/L)]

First phase of insulin secretion

Insulin sensitivity was calculated with Matsuda index [10,000 / √glucose 0' x insulin 0') (mean glucose oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) x mean insulin OGTT)]

Insulin sensitivity

Reflect the fasting glucose level after a 10- to 12-h overnight fast.

Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG)

Subjects underwent a 2-h oral glucose tolerance test (2-h OGTT) by consuming 75-g of a dextrose load, and one sample was obtained 120 min after glucose administration.
