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.

Conditions

• Postprandial Glucose and Insulin Response
