Cassia Cinnamon for Glucose Uptake in Young Women

The purpose of this study was to compare the acute effects of 5g of Cassia cinnamon, 50 minutes of endurance exercise performed at 70% of the heart rate reserve (correlated to VO2max), and 5g of cellulose placebo on blood glucose, serum insulin and insulin sensitivity following an oral glucose tolerance test 3 hours after administration of each intervention.
