Figure 3 Post-Prandial Stress

The immediate deleterious effects of a beverage containing 75 g glucose mixed with 700 kcal/m² of whipping cream. Within 2 to 4 h glucose and triglyceride levels double, causing immediate oxidant stress (nitrotyrosine), inflammation (C-reactive protein [CRP]), resulting in deterioration in endothelial function. FMD % = percent flow-mediated dilation. Data from Ceriello et al. (41).
