Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Postprandial refers to something occurring following a meal-in this case, changes in analyte concentration.Substances derived from a meal (e.g., triglycerides and glucose) are anticipated to increase.Likewise, hormones that are secreted in response to eating (e.g., gastrin) will also show a postprandial increase.The only analyte listed that does not show a postprandial increase is potassium.Plasma potassium levels decline postprandially due to the action of insulin, which will move potassium into the red blood cell.
