Resistant Starch and Satiety

Early Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Healthy Adults
Registration Number
NCT01187875
Lead Sponsor
University of Minnesota
Brief Summary

Dietary fiber consumption may contribute to weight regulation by improving satiety. In an earlier study the investigators found that a muffin containing resistant starch was more effective than other fibers in altering satiety. The objective of this study is to determine if 2 resistant starches consumed in muffins alter satiety and whether a mixture of resistant starches is more effective than either alone in enhancing satiety.
