Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether different types of resistant starch (RS) elicited different glycemic responses. Eleven healthy subjects consumed solutions containing 30 g of either dextrose (DEX), resistant starch type 2 (RS2), or cross-linked resistant wheat starch type 4 (RS4XL) on three separate occasions, which were assigned randomly. Finger stick blood samples were collected before and over the following two hours and measured for glucose. The incremental area under the curve (iAUC) for the glucose response was calculated for all trials. The two types of resistant starch significantly (P < .05) decreased iAUC compared with DEX. The response with RS4XL was significantly decreased compared with the RS2 trial. These data demonstrate that different types of resistant starch elicit significantly different glycemic responses.

The numerical peak in glucose for the DEX and resistant starch type 2 (RS2) treatments occurred at 30 minutes, while the glucose peak during the RS4XL treatment did not occur until 120 minutes (Figure 1(a))
These data indicate that not all RS types elicit similar glucose responses, as the RS4XL response was less than RS2
