Dietary Wheat Starch and Sucrose

Effect on Levels of Five Enzymes in Blood Serum of Young Adults

M. ISABEL IRWIN B.H.SC., M.SC., PH.D.1 and ANNIE J. STATON B.S.1

Ten young women and nine young men ate diets in which 85% of the carbohydrate (40% of the calories) was supplied by either cooked wheat starch or sucrose. Serum samples from fasting blood were analyzed for five enzymes. Both men and women had significantly higher mean activity levels of lactate dehydrogenase and alkaline phosphatase with the sugar diet than with the starch diet. The men also had higher mean activity levels of glutamic-oxalacetic and glutamic-pyruvic transaminases with sugar than with starch. The women's mean transaminase activity level did not appear to be affected by the kind of dietary carbohydrate. Aldolase activity (studied in the men only) was significantly higher with the sugar diet than with the starch diet.
