Starch digestibility in the diabetic rat

Tovar, Juscelino LU orcid ; Erlanson-Albertsson, Charlotte LU and Björck, Inger LU (1991) In Nutrition Research 11(11). p.1329-1334
Abstract

The digestibility of a mixture of starches was evaluated in balance experiments, with both normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats treated with antibiotics to prevent colonic fermentation of unabsorbed material. Pancreatic amylase production in the diabetic animals was only 10% of the normal level. In spite of this, only a minor decrease in the total starch digestibility index was recorded for the diabetic group (91% vs 94% in control animals). Although small, such a decreased starch digestibility might aggravate gastrointestinal problems in diabetics and should be acknowledged.
