Rabbani GH, Ahmed S, Hossain I, Islam R, Marni F, Akhtar M, Majid N. Green banana reduces clinical severity of childhood shigellosis: a double-blind, randomized, controlled conical trial. Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal May 2009; 28(5):420-5.

Mature green banana (GB) fruit is rich in amylase-resistant starch that stimulates colonic production of short-chain fatty acids (referred to as fatty acid) and is useful in treating diarrheal diseases. We studied therapeutic effects of GB in childhood shigellosis by determining colonic fatty acid production in a double-blind, randomized, controlled, clinical trial. Conclusions: GB diet improves clinical severity in childhood shigellosis and could be a simple and useful adjunct for dietary management of this illness.

This study assessed the safety of rapid intravenous rehydration of severely malnourished children and compared the efficacy of 3 formulations of oral rehydration salts solutions. Conclusions: Dehydration in severely malnourished children can safely be corrected within 6 hours. All study ORSs were equally efficient in correcting dehydration. Rice-ORS significantly reduced the stool output and ORS intake, confirming previous reports.

Willis HJ, Eldridge AL, Beiseigel J, Thomas W, Slavin JL. Greater satiety response with resistant starch and corn bran in human subjects Nutrition Research. February 2009; 29(2):100-105.
We hypothesized that certain types of dietary fiber may enhance satiety more than others. Healthy men and women (N=20) participated in this acute, randomized double-blind, crossover study comparing the effects of 4 fibers and a low-fiber (LF) treatment on satiety. Conclusion: Resistant starch and corn bran had the most impact on satiety, whereas polydextrose had little effect and behaved like the LF treatment. Results from this study indicate that not all fibers induce satiety equally.

Le Leu RK, Hu Y, Brown IL, Young GP. Effect of high amylose maize starches on colonic fermentation and apoptotic response to DNA-damage in the colon of rats Nutrition & Metabolism 2009; 6:11. doi: 10.1186/1743-7075-6-11
This study investigated in rats the effects of feeding different forms of high amylose maize starches (HAMS) rich in resistant starch (RS) to understand what the implications of RS heterogeneity might be for colonic biology, including innate cellular responses to DNA-damage. Conclusion: The consumption of RS elicits a range of beneficial physiological and protective effects associated with the fermentation of RS. Increased production of butyrate seems a likely explanation by which RS enhances the apoptotic response to carcinogen-induced DNA damage which is consistent with the proposed role of this SCFA in promoting a normal cell phenotype and preventing the development of abnormal cell populations.

Deng J, Wu X, Bin S, Li TJ, Huang R, Liu Z, Liu Y, Ruan Z, Deng Z, Hou Y, Yin YL. Dietary amylose and amylopectin ratio and resistant starch content affects plasma glucose, lactic acid and hormone levels and protein synthesis in splanchnic tissues Journal of Animal Physiology & Animal Nutrition (Berl). 2009 Jan 13 [Epub ahead of print]
Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of feeding different starch sources on piglets. Four diets were formulated with maize, brown rice, sticky rice and Hi-maize 1043 as starch sources, with resistant starch (RS) contents of 2.3%, 0.9%, 0.0%, 20.6%, and amylose and amylopectin ratio of 0.23%, 0.21%, 0.18%, 0.06% respectively. Conclusions: These results suggest that RS is potentially beneficial for improving insulin sensitivity in young pigs and that the ratio of amylose and amylopectin have significantly effects on the FSR in splanchnic tissues in weaned piglets. Another finding of this study indicated maize with a ratio of amylose and amylopectin of 0.23 has the best starch sources for pig production.

Hedemann MS, Theil PK, Knudsen KEB. The thickness of the intestinal mucous layer in the colon of rats fed various sources of non-digestible carbohydrates is positively correlated with the pool of SCFA but negatively correlated with the proportion of butyric acid in digesta British Journal of Nutrition 2009 Jan 13: 1-9 [Epub ahead of print]
The present experiment aimed to study the influence of six sources of non-digestible carbohydrates (NDC) on the mucous layer in the colon of rats. The NDC sources used were as follows: cellulose (C); pectin (P); inulin; resistant starch (RS – autoclaved potato starch); barley hulls. Conclusion: a diet providing a large pool of SCFA with a low proportion of butyrate in the colon stimulates the formation of a thick mucous layer, which probably benefits intestinal health.

This study examined whether the effects of high-amylose cornstarch (HACS) on lipid metabolism in ovariectomized (OVX) rats were affected by high-fructose feeding. Conclusions: These results show that the effect of HACS on hyperlipidemia induced by ovarian hormone deficiency would be affected by the consumption of fructose-rich sweeteners such as sucrose and high-fructose syrup.

Larkin TA, Astheimer LB, Price WE. Dietary combination of soy with a probiotic or prebiotic food significantly reduces total and LDL cholesterol in mildly hypercholesterolaemic subjects European Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 2009; 63:238-245. [Epub ahead of print October 17, 2007]
We hypothesized that a dietary combination of soy with either a probiotic (yoghurt) or a prebiotic (resistant starch) would result in enhanced lipid-lowering effects compared with a control soy diet, possibly via improvements in isoflavone bioavailability. Mildly hypercholesterolemic men and post-menopausal women who were older than 45 years of age were studied. Conclusion: Dietary combination of soy with either a probiotic or a prebiotic resulted in significant lipid lowering, not related to isoflavone bioavailability.

Burn J, Bishop T, Mecklin JP, Macrae F, Moslein G, Olschwang S, Bisgaard ML, Ramesar R, Eccles D, Maher ER, Bertario L, Jarvinen HJ, Lindblom A, Evans G, Lubinski J, Morrison P, Ho JWC, Vasen HFA, Side L, Thomas HJW, Scott RJ, Dunlop M, Barker G, Elliott F, Jas JR, Fodde R, Lynch HT, Mathers JC. Effect of aspirin or resistant starch on colorectal neoplasia in the Lynch Syndrome New England Journal of Medicine, 2008;359;24:2567-78. Correction Apr 2 2009;360(14):1470.
Observational and epidemiologic data indicate that the use of aspirin reduces the risk of colorectal neoplasia; however, the effects of aspirin in the Lynch syndrome (hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer) are not known. Resistant starch has been associated with an antineoplastic effect on the colon. Conclusions The use of aspirin, resistant starch, or both for up to 4 years has no effect on the incidence of colorectal adenoma or carcinoma among carriers of the Lynch syndrome.

Bogden JD, Kemp FW, Huang AE, Shapses SA, Ambia-Sobhan H, Jagpal S, Brown IL, Birkett AM Bone mineral density and content during weight cycling in female fats: effects of dietary amylase-resistant starch Nutrition & Metabolism 2008;5(1):34.
Although there is considerable evidence for a loss of bone mass with weigh loss, the few human studies on the relationship between weight cycling and bone mass or density have different results. Further, very few studies assessed the role of dietary composition on bone mass during weight cycling. The primary objective of this study was to determine if a diet high in amylase-resistant starch (RS2), which has been shown to increase absorption and balance of dietary minerals, can prevent or reduce loss of bone mass during weight cycling. Conclusion: Weight cycling reduces bone mass. A diet high in RS2 can minimize loss of bone mass during weight cycling and may increase bone mass in the absence of weight cycling.

Dronamraju SS, Coxhead JM, Kelly SB, Burn J, Mathers JC. Cell kinetics and gene expression changes in colorectal cancer patients given resistant starch – A randomized controlled trial. Gut Mar 2009;58(3):413-20. Epub ahead of print Oct 31, 2008.
This study investigated the effects of oral supplementation of resistant starch (RS) on tumour cell and colonic mucosal cell kinetics and on gene expression in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and its potential role in colon cancer prevention. Conclusions: Cell proliferation in the upper part of colonic crypts is a pre-malignant marker and its reduction by RS supplementation is consistent with an anti-neoplastic action of this food component. Differential expression of the key cell cycle regulatory genes may contribute to the molecular mechanisms underlying these anti-neoplastic effects of RS.

Shen L. Keenan MJ, Martin RJ, Tulley RT, Raggio AM, McCutcheon KL, Zhou J Dietary resistant starch increases hypothalamic POMC Expression in Rats Obesity Jan 2009;17(1):40-5. Epub ahead of print October 23, 2008.
Resistant starch (RS) is fermentable dietary fiber. Inclusion of RS in the diet causes decreased body fat accumulation and altered gut hormone profile. This study investigates the effect of feeding RS on the neuropeptide messenger RNA (mRNA) expressions in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of the hypothalamus and whether vagal afferent nerves are involved. Conclusions: These findings suggest that dietary RS might reduce body fat through increasing the hypothalamic POMC expression and vagal afferent nerves are not involved in this process. This is the first study to show that dietary RS can alter hypothalamic POMC expression.

Zhou J. Martin RJ, Tulley RT, Raggio AM, McCutcheon KL, Shen L. Danna SC, Tripathy S. Hegsted M. Keenan MJ Dietary resistant starch up-regulates total GLP-1 and PYY in a sustained daylong manner through fermentation in rodents Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab. Nov 2008; 295(5):E1160-6. Epub ahead of print. Sept 16, 2008.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1_ and peptide YY (PYY) are anti-diabetes/obesity hormones secreted from the gut after meal ingestion. We have shown that dietary resistant starch increased GLP-1 and PYY secretion, but the mechanism remains unknown. Resistant starch (RS) is a fermentable fiber, which lowers the Glycemic index of the diet and liberates short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) through fermentation in the gut. This study investigates the two possible mechanisms by which RS stimulates GLP-1 and PYY secretion: the effect of meal or Glycemic index and the effect of fermentation. Conclusions: Fermentation of RS is most likely the primary mechanism for increased endogenous secretions of total GLP-1 and PYY in rodents. Thus, any factor that affects fermentation should be considered when using dietary fermentable fiber to stimulate GLP-1 and PYY secretion.

Scribner KB, Pawlak DB, Aubin CM, Majzoub JA, Ludwig DS Long-term effects of dietary glycemic index on adiposity, energy metabolism and physical activity in mice. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 2008; 295:E1126-E1131, Epub ahead of print September 9, 2008.
A high Glycemic index (GI) diet has been shown to increase adiposity in rodents; however, the long-term metabolic effects of a low and high GI diet have not been examined. In this study, a total of 48 male 129SvPas mice were fed diets high in either rapidly absorbed carbohydrate (RAC, high GI) or slowly absorbed carbohydrate (SAC, low GI, Hi-maize) for up to 40 weeks. Diets were controlled for macronutrient and micronutrient content, different only in starch type. Results: Despite having similar mean body weights, mice fed the RAC diet had 40% greater body fat by the end of the study and a mean 2.2-fold greater insulin resistance compared with mice fed the SAC diet. Respiratory quotient was higher in the RAC group, indicating comparatively less fat oxidation. Although no differences in energy expenditure were observed throughout the study, total physical activity was 45% higher for the SAC-fed mice after 38 weeks of feeding.

Conlon MA, and Bird AR Interactive and individual effects of dietary non-digestible carbohydrates and oils on DNA damage, SCFA and bacteria in the large bowel of rats British Journal of Nutrition 2009;101:1171-1177. Epub ahead of print Sept 12, 2008.
Dietary non-digestible carbohydrates (NDC) play an important role in large-bowel health and one form of NDC, resistant starch (RS), can promote low levels of DNA damage and other markers of colonic health. The objective of the present study was to determine whether the ability of dietary RS or other NDC to influence colonic health, particularly DNA damage, is dependent upon the type of dietary oil…There was a significant interaction between NDC and oil treatments on single-strand DNA breaks in colonocytes isolated from the colon. The damage in rats consuming RHAS was greater for fish oil consumption than for Sunola™ oil (rich in oleic acid) consumption. There was a significant interaction between NDC and oils on caecum weights and treatment effects of NDC and oils were observed for the weights and lengths of other gut tissues. Significant differences were found in colonic SCFA pools and caecal numbers of lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, Escherichia coli and Bacteroides fragilis with the various NDC and oil treatments. The present results demonstrated that the effects of NDC and oils, particularly on colonic DNA damage, can depend on how they are combined within the diet.

Knapp BK, Parsons CM, Swanson KS, Fahey GC Jr. Physiological responses to novel carbohydrates as assessed using canine and avian models Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 2008;56(17):7999-8006. Epub ahead of print Aug 16, 2008.
The objective was to quantify in vitro digestion, true metabolizable energy (TMEn) content, Glycemic and insulinemic responses, and gastrointestinal tolerance to fructose (Fruc), maltodextrin (Malt), polydextrose (Poly), pullulan (Pull), resistant starch (RS), sorbitol (Sorb), and xanthan gum (Xan)….At 100% and 200% Adequate Intake, Malt, RS, and Sorb resulted in ideal fecal scores, while Pull and Xan resulted in looser stools and Poly resulted in diarrhea. The carbohydrates studied varied widely in physiological outcomes. Certain carbohydrates could potentially benefit large bowel health.

Clarke JM, Topping DL, Bird AR, Young GP, Cobiac L. Effects of high amylose maize starch and butyrylated high amylose maize starch on azoxymethane-induced intestinal cancer in rats Carcinogenesis Nov 2008; 29(11):2190-4. Epub ahead of print Aug 13, 2008.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of death worldwide. Studies suggest that dietary fibre offers protection perhaps by increasing colonic fermentative production of butyrate. This study examined the importance of butyrate by investigating the effects of resistant starch (RS) and butyrylated-RS on azoxymethane (AOM-indiced CRC in rats….The current study demonstrates that large bowel and hepatic portal venous butyrate levels correlated negatively with tumour indices in an accepted animal model of CRC. Butyrate was raised by HAMS relative to the LAMS control, but the highest butyrate levels were achieved with HAMSB, indicating the greater potential effectiveness for this modified starch to significantly improve bowel health and reduce the risk of developing CRC.

Shimada M, Mochizuki K, Goda T. Dietary Resistant Starch Reduces Levels of Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide mRNA along the Jejunum-Ileum in Both Normal and Type 2 Diabetic Rats Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemisty (2008) 72(8):2206-2209
It has been reported that the circulating glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) levels were reduced by an intake of some foods/drugs capable of delaying carbohydrate digestion/absorption. In this study, we revealed that feeding rats with dietary resistant starch reduced the GIP mRNA levels along the entire length of the jejunoileium in both Wistar and type 2 diabetic GK rats.

Ramakrishna, BS, Subramanian V, Mohan V, Sebastian BK, Young GP, Farthing MJ, Binder HJ. A randomimzed controlled trial of glucose versus amylase resistant starch hypo-osmolar oral rehydration solution for adult acute dehydrating diarrhea PLoS ONE 3(2): e1587. Published February 13, 2008.
This prospective randomized clinical trial at a tertiary referral hospital in southern India was undertaken to determine whether amylase resistant starch, substituting for glucose in hypo-osmolar oral rehydration solultion (ORS), would reduce diarrhea duration and weight in adults with acute severe dehydrating diarrhea. Conclusions Compared to hypo-osmolar ORS, high amylase maize starch-ORS reduced diarrhea duration by 55% and significantly reduced fecal weight after the first 12 hours of ORS therapy in adults with cholera-like diarrhea.

Nilsson AC, Ostman EM, Holst JJ, Bjorck IME. Including indigestible carbohydrates in the evening meal of healthy subjects improves glucose tolerance, lowers inflammatory markers, and increases satiety after a subsequent standardized breakfast Journal of Nutrition (2008) 138:732-739.
Low-glycemic index (GI) foods and foods rich in whole grain are associated with reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. We studied the effect of cereal-based bread evening meals (50 g available starch), varying in GI and content of indigestible carbohydrates, on glucose tolerance and related variables after a subsequent standardized breakfast in healthy subjects (n-15)….In conclusion, the composition of indigestible carbohydrates of the evening meal may affect glycemic excursions and related metabolic risk variables at breakfast through a mechanism involving colonic fermentation. The results provide evidence for a link between gut microbial metabolism and key factors associated with insulin resistance.

Murphy MM, Douglass JS, Birkett A. Resistant starch intakes in the United States Journal of the American Dietetic Association (January, 2008) 108:67-78.
The purpose of this study was to estimate consumption of resistant starch by the US population and to identify key sources of dietary resistant starch. Conclusions: Findings from this study suggest that the estimated intake of resistant starch by Americans is approximately 3 to 8 g per person per day. These estimates of resistant starch intake provide a valuable reference for researchers and food and nutrition professionals and will allow for more accurate estimates of total intake of carbohydrate compounds that escape digtestion in the small intestine.
