Changes in whole body glucose kinetics from baseline: Kinetic values are expressed as difference between post- and pre-interventions. Rate of appearance of total glucose (R a Total), rate of appearance of endogenous glucose (R a Endo), rate of appearance of exogenous glucose, rate of disappearance of glucose (R d ), and metabolic clearance rate of glucose (MCR, R d normalized to plasma glucose concentration) were determined during the OGTT before and following the 4-week diet intervention of either RPI (i.e., ~0.8 g protein/kg body weight/day) or EPI in isocaloric mixed meals intakes (i.e., ~1.4 g protein/kg body weight/day). Values are expressed as mean ± SEM
