Brief Summary
The overall objective of this research is to determine the digestive faith and health impact of protein and fiber rich foods in different food matrices in type 2 diabetes risk population. This is achieved by controlled postprandial intervention where plasma amino acids, lipids, glucose metabolism, bile acids and microbial metabolites are evaluated as well as fecal microbiota and metabolites.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Plasma amino acids
Plasma free amino acids were measured at 0, 30, 60, 90, 180, and 240 minutes after consuming the study meal.
0-4 hours
Gut derived metabolites
Gut derived metabolites are measured with untargeted metabolomics from plasma at 12 hours after consuming the study meal. From fecal sample, the metabolomics are measured at 24 hours after consuming the study meal. Plasma short chain fatty acids are quantified at 12 hours after consuming the study meal.
0-24 hours
