Since glutathione and cysteine concentrations are relatively low in the post-absorptive state, especially in older individuals, NAC is best taken early in the morning and before retiring for the night — several hours after consumption of the evening meal
to ensure a postabsorptive state (i.e., that normal
insulin signaling in
response to food intake is not occurring).
You first have
to know why
insulin is secreted, and that is in
response to how much glucose is created from whatever
food eaten.
Dr Greger ranks
insulin response of the apple, oatmeal, pasta, beef, and fish based on approximately equal weight of each
food, which makes sense
to me.
Although carbohydrate intake is the first determinant of the postprandial glycemic
response, a great variability has been reported in the individual answers related
to carbohydrate and starch type (amylose vs. amylopectin),
food preparation methods (cooking procedures, heating), fasting time, pre-prandial glucose level, macronutrients distribution,
insulin doses and resistance level [36].
So looking at the above 3 combos, hopefully you understand that the
foods that get converted
to glucose quicker and thus enter the bloodstream quicker, will cause a bigger
insulin response to «ferry» glucose out.
http://www.ncl.ac.uk/magres/research/diabetes/documents/BantingDiabeticMed.pdf In the fasting state, you're not consuming any
food to be converted
to glucose, but your liver is constantly producing glucose in order
to keep your body functioning, unless that production is suppressed by
insulin, which your pancreas releases in either a small steady amount or a large amount in
response to food.

insulin secretion in
response to food.
