Similarly, in young humans (11–18 years) with confirmed metabolic syndrome (correlated with insulin resistance), 250 mL fermented CM/day for 8 weeks had numerical but non-significant effects on fasting blood glucose, inflammatory markers, serum free fatty acids, and incretin hormone concentrations, while there was a numerical (also non-significant) elevation of fasting insulin [21]. This evidence concerns the gene INS and Insulin resistance.
