抗性淀粉与代谢综合征

Resistant starch and metabolic syndrome

抗性淀粉是不能被人体小肠吸收的,而在结肠中发酵的淀粉。目前的研究认为,它可以降低餐后血糖、血清胆固醇和三酰甘油的水平,增强胰岛素的敏感性,从而达到防治代谢综合征的目的。

Resistant starch is not absorbed in the small intestine. But it can be fermented in the large bowel. Recent studies have confirmed the ability of resistant starch to decrease postprandial blood glucose levels, decrease serum cholesterol and triglyeride levels, and enhance the sensitivity of insulin. As such, resistant starch contributes to preventing and treating metabolic syndrome.
