Why the study?
Does glucose ingestion affect cardiac autonomic nervous system balance (LF/HF ratio) in healthy subjects with different amounts of body fat?
Population
17 healthy, normotensive young subjects with a wide body fat content range and a normal thyroid hormone…
Comparison
Oral glucose tolerance test / glucose ingestion vs Water ingestion (n=8)
Follow-up
Acute (throughout the OGTT test)

May indicate adiposity modulates acute autonomic response to glucose; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does glucose ingestion affect cardiac autonomic nervous system balance (LF/HF ratio) in healthy subjects with different amounts of body fat?
Glucose ingestion acutely alters sympathovagal balance, and this autonomic response is inversely related to the amount of body fat in healthy subjects.
Paolisso et al. (1997) studied this question.
