Brief Summary

Resistant starch partially resists hydrolyzation by digestive enzymes in humans. Consequently, it is not absorbed in the small intestine and goes directly to the large intestine, where it is fermented by the intestinal microbiota, acting as a prebiotic and stimulating the growth of beneficial bacteria in the colon. In addition, the effect of resistant starch on postprandial glucose metabolism is studying. Thus, the present research on healthy subjects has been proposed. The main objective is to assess the effect on postprandial glycemia of eating a pasta dish made with resistant starch versus its original version. For this purpose, a randomized, double blind crossover study has been designed. Target sample size is 18 subjects.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Baseline blood glucose

    Blood glucose levels before start eating the pasta dish in each clinical investigation day will be analyzed by biochemical autoanalyzer and reported in mg/dL.

    0 min in the Clinical investigation day 1 and Clinical investigation day 2 (at least 7 days after the clinical investigation day 1)

  • Postprandial blood glucose

    Blood glucose levels after start eating the pasta dish in each clinical investigation day will be analyzed by biochemical autoanalyzer and reported in mg/dL.

    30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 min after start eating the pasta dish in the Clinical investigation day 1 and Clinical investigation day 2

  • Glycemia Area Under the Curve

    Postprandial glycemia levels after eating pasta dish in each clinical investigation day will be analyzed biochemical autoanalyzer and reported in mg/dL. Glycemia AUC will be calculated by the trapezoidal rule.

    Baseline, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 minutes in the Clinical investigation day 1 and Clinical investigation day 2

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Insulinemia Area Under the Curve

    Baseline, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 minutes in Clinical investigation day 1 and Clinical investigation day 2

  • Baseline blood insulin

    0 min in the Clinical investigation day 1 and Clinical investigation day 2

  • Postprandial blood insulin

    30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 min after start eating in the Clinical investigation day 1 and Clinical investigation day 2.

  • Body weight

    Clinical Investigation Day 1 (before eat the pasta dish) and Clinical Investigation Day 2 (before eat the pasta dish)

  • Height

    Clinical Investigation Day 1 (before eat the pasta dish) and Clinical Investigation Day 2 (before eat the pasta dish)

  • +2 more secondary outcomes
