FIGURE 7.
Persistence of the attenuation of the glycemic response by resistant maltodextrin (RMD) up to 26 wk as indicated in the randomized controlled trials. Meals consisted of either noodles and rice (30, 56) attenuated with RMD tea compared with tea control or rice alone attenuated with an RMD yogurt drink compared with an RMD-free yogurt drink placebo (29). Observations were for persons unadapted (0 wk treatment) or adapted to RMD ingestion for ≥4 wk to ≤26 wk. The difference between adapted and un-adapted persons was not significant (heterogeneity between groups: P > Q = 0.53). The meta-analysis by group was conducted with fixed effects (I2 = 0.0). The effect sizes were significant in both unadapted and adapted persons (P > |z| < 0.001). I-V, inverse variance.
