Evaluation of an Ileorectostomised rat model for Resistant Starch determination

December 2020. Nutrients article: The human ileostomy model, widely considered the benchmark for determining in vivo starch digestibility, is not easily feasible. The ileorectostomised rat model is a possible surrogate. The RS level of HAW-R bread determined using ileorectostomised rats was 5.5 g/100 g of RS  with HAW bread, compared to less than 1 g/ 100 g with standard…
