Postprandial Effect of High-starch Meals in Individuals With Low and High Copy Number of the Salivary Amylase Gene
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Individuals with low copy numbers of salivary amylase gene have lower salivary amylase levels and might therefore have decreased capacity to metabolize starch into glucose. We will in a randomized crossover meal study examine the postprandial response of high-starch meals in individuals with either low or high copy number of the salivary amylase gene.

---|---|
Experimental: 40 grams of starch to low and high AMY1 copy number carriers The postprandial response between individuals that are either carriers of low AMY1 copy numbers (2-4) or high copy numbers (10 or more copies) will be compared |
Other: 40 grams of starch
40 grams of starch in form of white bread to be consumed within 15 minutes
|
Experimental: 80 grams of starch to low and high AMY1 copy number carriers The postprandial response between individuals that are either carriers of low AMY1 copy numbers (2-4) or high copy numbers (10 or more copies) will be compared |
Other: 80 grams of starch
80 grams of starch in form of white bread to be consumed within 15 minutes

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Postprandial glucose [AUC (0, 7, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120 minutes)]
Postprandial glucose concentration assessed as incremental area under curve over 120 minutes (0, 7, 15, 30, 45, 60 ,90, 120 minutes)
- Postprandial insulin [AUC (0, 7, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120 minutes)]
postprandial insulin concentration assessed as incremental area under curve over 120 minutes (0, 7, 15, 30, 45, 60 ,90, 120 minutes)
- Preabsorptive insulin release [7 minutes]
Insulin concentration at 7 minutes
Secondary Outcome Measures
- subjective satiety [0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120 minutes]
Visual analog scales (VAS) to evaluate hunger and satiety
- salivary amylase activity [0 minutes]
Salivary amylase activity will be measured by ELISA kits
Other Outcome Measures
- weight [0 minutes]
weight will be measured
