Influence Of Feeding Rats With Starch Combined With Casein And Casein Hydrolysates On Changes In The Absorption Of Glucose And Amino Acids Into The Blood

Abstract

The work studied in vitro the effect of feeding rats with starch together with casein and casein hydrolysates on changes in the absorption of glucose and amino acids into the blood. The study found that feeding rats with starch together with casein contributes to lower blood glucose levels compared to similar results of feeding rats only with starch and amino acids only with casein. At the same time, feeding rats with starch together with casein hydrolysate promotes a more pronounced decrease in glucose, which was less than the indicators of feeding only starch, and starch together with casein. Also, a pronounced decrease in amino acids, less than the indicators of feeding only casein, and starch together with casein. These changes may be associated with the formation of starch-casein, as well as starch-peptide complexes that prevent the hydrolysis of starch by salivary amylase and casein and casein hydrolysates by gastric juice.
