Fig. 1. Plasma glucose post-prandial responses (mean ± SEM) in healthy subjects after ingestion of crackers (left) or cookies (right) meals (n = 10):whole wheat ({blacktriangleup} dashed line); barley ({blacksquare} solid line). Statistics (RM-ANOVA): DF effect: F(1,72) = 3,34; p < 0.05. FP effect: F(1,72) = 7.53; p < 0.01. DF x FP interaction: F(1,72) = 4.22; p < 0.05. Significant differences (Tukey HSD post-hoc test): * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01 DF effect at time point.

Fig. 2. Plasma insulin post-prandial responses (mean ± SEM) in healthy subjects after ingestion of crackers (left) or cookies (right) meals (n = 10):whole wheat ({blacktriangleup} dashed line); barley ({blacksquare} solid line). Statistics (RM-ANOVA): DF effect: F(1,72) = 18,34; p < 0.001. FP effect: F(1,72) = 12.27; p < 0.01. Significant differences (Tukey HSD post-hoc test): * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01 DF effect at time point; a,b (p < 0.05) FP effect at time point.
