Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Eligible participants will undergo a total of 6 study visits. During each visit, a fasted blood sample will be taken by fingerprick, and approximately 500 µL of blood will be dripped into a collection tube. The participant will then consume a meal of either: two types of lentils, corn, macaroni, white rice, or white potato. All study days will be randomized. Each meal will be served in either 1/4 or 1/2 cup servings depending on the study block. Six more blood samples will be taken by fingerprick at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after the beginning of the meal.
