  1. All values are mean ± SEM. Effects of gender and protein-load and interaction effects were determined by repeated measures ANOVA
  2. 1Rate of gastric emptying was calculated as mean of rates of emptying during each 15-min interval, respectively, of the early phase (i.e. 0–60 min), the late phase (i.e. 60 min until 100% emptying time per individual) and total time period (i.e. 0 min until 100% emptying time per individual). + P < 0.001 Effect of protein load. P ≤ 0.1. *P < 0.005 Interaction effect of gender by protein-load: amount emptied at 180 min
  3. a,bP< 0.05, post hoc test: different letter indicates significant difference between drink conditions.
