Mechanism of beneficial effects of RS on glucose metabolism. RS may stimulate the microbial production of SCFA and enhance the secretion of PYY and GLP‐1 by intestinal cells. PYY and GLP‐1 contribute to reduced gastrointestinal (GI) motility and stimulate insulin secretion, which can lead to improved glucose metabolism 29 , 30 . GLP‐1, glucagon‐like peptide 1; PYY, peptide YY; RS, resistant starch; SCFA, short‐chain fatty acids.
