Changes in the concentrations of gastrointestinal peptides in plasma. Changes in ghrelin (A), CCK (B), GLP-1 (C) and PYY (D) after the ingestion of the study meal supplemented with the placebo or polydextrose (PDX) presented as box plots and analyzed by a linear mixed-effects model. The GLP-1 response was increased significantly (P = 0.02) with PDX when compared to the placebo. The concentrations of ghrelin, CCK, and PYY were not significantly altered by the treatments. The median of all values at the first time point (0 min) has been subtracted from the parameter values presented in the box plots. CCK, cholecystokinin; GLP-1, glucagon-like peptide 1; PYY, peptide YY.
