Intestinal enzymes responsible for breaking down starchy foods could soon be toggled to be on or off, leading to foods that might help battle obesity and diabetes by better controlling blood sugar levels, say researchers.
The findings published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry reveal the discovery of a toggling process in which specific compounds are capable of regulating (turning on and off) each of the four starch-digesting enzymes (known as alpha-glucosidases) found in the human dig
