Abstract

Resistant starch (RS) includes the sum of starch and degradation products of starch that resist small intestinal digestion and enter the colon. This study was planned to examine the effect of resistant starch on hypolipidemic actions, blood glucose, insulin levels and humoral immune responses in healthy overweight subjects. Healthy overweight subjects (over 120% of their ideal body weights) were fed either 24 g/d of resistant corn starch (RS) or regular corn starch (CS) for 21 d with their regular meals. Although this double-blind feeding regiment resulted in no significant changes in their weights or other physical parameters for the relatively acute period of intakes, there were significant lowering effects of serum total cholesterol (p < 0.05) and serum LDL-cholesterol (p < 0.05) in subjects supplemented RS. Compared with the control starch group, the RS supplementation also reduced the mean fasting serum glucose concentrations (p < 0.05). Resistant starch supplement resulted in the increase in serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentrations. Serum insulin and complement 3 (C3) were unaffected. Tested resistant starch supplementation was reported to be palatable with minimal bowel discomfort. These results suggest that RS supple...Continue Reading
