Acute Food INtake Effect of Hemp Protein (A FINEH Protein) Trial - Part 2

Acute Food INtake Effect of Hemp Protein (A FINEH Protein) Trial - Part 2 - Are Acute Effects of Hemp Protein on Blood Glucose and Appetite Insulin-dependent?

The objectives of this trial are to investigate whether the effects of hemp protein on glycemic and appetite control are insulin-dependent by measuring 1) blood glucose, insulin and appetite for one hour following consumption, 2) blood glucose, insulin and appetite following a fixed energy meal to determine the "second meal effect" of hemp protein versus soybean protein and a non-protein control.
