“…The mechanism is unclear but both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee delay glucose absorption in comparison to the placebo glucose in water possibly via chlorogenic acid-mediated Na + -electrochemical gradient dissipation (Johnston et al, 2003). Other possible mechanisms, including the inhibition or retardation of the action of a-glucosidase, have been reviewed (Bidel et al, 2008). In the same way, the amounts of epicatechin in Tobiä ssler, Schneiderapfel, Engishofer and Burgunder cultivars (10-20 mg/ 100 g FM, Table 1) are as high as those reported for milk chocolate (12.5 mg/100 g) (Arts et al, 2000) and the epicatechin content of the red-fleshed cultivar Redfield (34 mg/100 g FM) was as high as in dark chocolate (32.7 mg/100 g) (Arts et al, 2000).…”
