Metabolic response to oral glucose tolerance test performed in neutral and warm environmental temperature.

Conclusion: We conclude that the effects of environmental temperature on the glucoregulatory hormones and biomarkers reported in this study do not explain the exaggerated increase in blood glucose after a glucose load taken in a warm environmental temperature. Precis statement: This work demonstrates in healthy men and women that the ingestion of glucose elicits an exaggerated increase in blood glucose when the environmental temperature is warm.
