| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Sixty subjects will be randomly divided by a random number table into two groups: 30 subjects in the test food (palatinose) intake group and 30 subjects in the control food (sucrose) intake group (randomized controlled trial). Subjects will come to the measurement room to measure their height, weight, body fat percentage, and body mass index before (before the intervention), 4, 8, and 12 weeks after (total of 4 visits) the intake of 25g of the test or control food per day, and after 9:00 pm on the night before the measurement, with no intake other than water and empty stomach on the day of the measurement (early morning fasting). Then, systemic arterial, proximal aortic, and aortic stiffness, brachial and ankle arterial blood pressure, heart rate, blood glucose level, blood insulin concentration, and endothelin-1 (vasoconstrictor) will be evaluated before and 60 and 120 minutes after oral intake of the 75g glucose tolerance test carbohydrate solution. | — |
