Types of Starch and Their Effect on Blood Glucose, Appetite and Food Intake
Summary
The investigators hypothesize that different types of starch vary in their effects on appetite, blood sugar and food intake. In this study, subjects consumed five soups containing 50 g of whole grain, high amylose corn, regular corn or maltodextrin starches or no added starch at one week intervals. The investigators measured food intake at 30 minutes, appetite and blood sugar.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Obesity, Abdominal
A condition of having excess fat in the abdomen. Abdominal obesity is typically defined as waist circumferences of 40 inches or more in men and 35 inches or more in women. Abdominal obesity raises the risk of developing disorders, such as diabetes, hypertension and METABOLIC SYNDROME X.
Primary Prevention
Specific practices for the prevention of disease or mental disorders in susceptible individuals or populations. These include HEALTH PROMOTION, including mental health; protective procedures, such as COMMUNICABLE DISEASE CONTROL; and monitoring and regulation of ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS. Primary prevention is to be distinguished from SECONDARY PREVENTION and TERTIARY PREVENTION.
Secondary Prevention
The prevention of recurrences or exacerbations of a disease that already has been diagnosed. This also includes prevention of complications or after-effects of a drug or surgical procedure.
Electrophoresis, Starch Gel
Electrophoresis in which a starch gel (a mixture of amylose and amylopectin) is used as the diffusion medium.
Obesity, Morbid
The condition of weighing two, three, or more times the ideal weight, so called because it is associated with many serious and life-threatening disorders. In the BODY MASS INDEX, morbid obesity is defined as having a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2.
Clinical Trials
Resistant Starch on Glucose and Insulin Sensitivity in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes
This study will test the effects of resistant starch type 4 on blood sugar and hunger in adults with Type 2 diabetes.
Effects of Hi-maize Resistant Starch on Insulin Sensitivity
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of a dietary fiber, resistant starch, on insulin sensitivity. Low insulin sensitivity is a risk factor for some diseases including ty...
Effect of Resistant Starch Type 4 on Glycemia and Insulin Sensitivity in Young Adults
This study tested the effects of resistant starch type 4 on blood sugar and hunger in young adults with Type 2 diabetes.
Comparison of Different Types of Resistant Starch
This study is to determine whether different types of resistant starch have different effects on blood glucose in healthy adults.
The aim of the study is to explore the contribution of pollen starch granules to the induced symptoms and airway inflammation in patients with allergic rhinitis and mild asthma in a contro...
