What did studies of starch diet find?
2Studies of starch diet measured 2 outcomes: insulin area under the curve and insulin sensitivity.

Insulin area under the curve
upin E. caballus1
Starch diet increases insulin area under the curve in E. caballus (postprandial).
“Feeding a STARCH (adult: 21581.0 [15029.0-28133.0]; aged: 35205.0 [29194.0-41216.0]) or SUGAR (adult: 26050.0 [19885.0-32215.0]; aged: 25720.0 [19770.0-31670.0]) meal resulted in postprandial hyperinsulinaemia (AUCi).”

Insulin sensitivity
upin E. caballus1
Starch diet increases insulin sensitivity in E. caballus (compared with control diet) (P = 0.029 (adult starch), P = 0.009 (aged starch)).
“ADULT and AGED horses had a higher SI on STARCH (adult: 3.3 [2.3-4.2]; aged: 2.8 [1.9-3.7]) and SUGAR (adult: 3.4 [2.5-4.3]; aged: 4.0 [3.1-4.9]) diets compared with CONTROL”
