Data are expressed as group means ± SD. P-values were calculated from repeated measures (group × time) ANOVA. No significant differences were noted between groups over time, although there was a trend (P < 0.07) for subjects in the Cinnulin group to ingest more total energy. To convert from kcals into Joules (kJ) multiply by 4186; to convert from ounces (oz) into milliliters multiply by 29.573.
