Resistant Starch on Glycemic Response in Older Adults

May 22, 2008 updated by: Kansas State University

Resistant Starch Type 4 on the Glycemic Response in Older Adults

The purpose of this study was to determine how blood glucose changes after eating energy bars containing resistant starch type 4 compared with bars made with puffed wheat in healthy older adults.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

To measure the blood glucose response, we collected blood samples before eating and 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after eating each bar. The incremental area under the curve was used to calculate glycemic index.
