It is claimed that commercial preparations of an alpha-amylase inhibitor, taken in tablet form 10 min before a meal, will inhibit the digestion of up to 100 g starch in the following meal. This was tested by giving five obese women three meals each containing cornflour enriched with 13C after a tablet of 'Starchex' or 'Calorex' or a placebo, in randomized sequence. The response to the meal in the rate of evolution of 13CO2, the increase in plasma insulin and the increase in blood sugar did not differ with the type of tablet which preceded the meal. We conclude that these starch-blocker tablets do not affect starch digestion or absorption in vivo.
据称，一种α-淀粉酶抑制剂的商业制剂，在饭前10分钟以片剂形式服用，将抑制下一顿饭中多达100克淀粉的消化。通过让五名肥胖女性在服用一片“Starchex”或“Calorex”或安慰剂后，以随机顺序分别食用三餐，每餐都含有富含13C的玉米淀粉，对这一说法进行了测试。饭前服用的片剂类型不同，对餐食在13CO2释放速率、血浆胰岛素增加和血糖增加方面的反应并无差异。我们得出结论，这些淀粉阻滞剂片剂在体内不影响淀粉的消化或吸收。
