Moreover , the changes in interleukin 6 concentration was dependent on study quality and intervention duration .
The current meta- analysis indicated that RS intake can improve some inflammatory biomarkers .
This study aim ed to summarize earlier studies on the effects of  RS consumption on the serum levels of inflammatory biomarkers .
Is there any place for resistant starch, as alimentary prebiotic, for patients with type 2 diabetes?
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to determine effects of Resistant Starch ( RS2 ) on metabolic parameters and inflammation in women with type 2 diabetes ( T2DM ) . METHODS In this r and omized controlled clinical trial , 60 females with T2DM were divided into intervention ( n = 28 ) and placebo groups ( n = 32 ) . They received 10 g/d RS2 or placebo for 8 weeks , respectively . Fasting blood sugar ( FBS ) , glycated hemoglobin ( HbA1c ) , lipid profile , high-sensitive C-reactive protein ( hs-CRP ) , interleukin-6 ( IL-6 ) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha ( TNF-α ) were measured at baseline and at the end of the trial . Paired t test , unpaired t-test and ANCOVA were used to compare the quantitative variables . The data were analyzed using SPSS software version 13.0 . RESULTS RS2  decreased HbA1c ( -0.3 % , -3.6 % ) , TNF-α ( -3.4 pg/mL , -18.9 % ) , triglyceride ( -33.4 mg/dL , -15.4 % ) , and it increased HDL-c ( + 9.4 mg/dL , + 24.6 % ) significantly compared with the placebo group ( p < 0.05 ) . Changes in FBS , total cholesterol , low-density lipoprotein , hs-CRP and IL-6 were not significant in the RS2 group compared with the control group . RS2 can improve glycemic status , inflammatory markers and lipid profile in women with T2DM . CONCLUSIONS Although findings of the present study indicated positive effects of RS2  on inflammation and metabolic parameters , more studies are needed to confirm efficacy of RS2 as an adjunct therapy in diabetes
