“…For acute glucose metabolism, 16 studies reported a measure of postprandial glucose, 13 of which calculated an incremental area under the curve (IAUC) [29,30,31,34,35,36,38,40,41,42,43,44,45], while three of them evaluated the effect at various postprandial time points [37,39,46]. Of the 13 reporting an IAUC, only two reported a significant reduction in IAUC for glucose after a HCA-rich intervention compared to a control [36,44], whereas one study demonstrated an increase [43]. One of these two studies [36], conducted on 12 healthy young adults, found a significantly lower 2 h IAUC for glucose after consumption of 25 g sucrose with coffee enriched with GCE and containing ~432 mg CGAs, compared to 25 g sucrose in water.…”
