  1. 1Values are means ± SD (n = 10). Incremental area under the curve for plasma amino acid and plasma insulin concentrations measured during the infusion studies. Different lowercase letter superscripts indicate difference (all, P < 0.01) between treatments for each variable detected using repeated measures ANOVA. EAA, essential amino acid
