Primary outcomePrimary: Area Under the Curve of Blood Glucose — 998; 981 mmol/L * min
Summary
The objective of this study is to formulate and validate a green tea confection (i.e. "gummy" candy) as a strategy to attenuate postprandial hyperglycemia-induced impairments in vascular function. The central hypothesis is that a green tea confection will protect against vascular endothelial dysfunction by suppressing postprandial hyperglycemia. The central hypothesis of this application will be assessed by developing a green tea-containing confection, examining its physiochemical properties and its inhibition of starch digestion, and then validating its vasoprotective activities in healthy humans by assessing its blood glucose-regulating activities.
