Fig. 1. Postprandial plasma glucose response for subjects consuming 50 g of carbohydrate from maltodextrin ( ) or gamma-cyclodextrin () in a crossover design. Letters represent treatment differences for that time point (P < 0.001). Values are mean ± SEM, n = 3132.

Fig. 4. Intensity of subjective gastrointestinal tolerance symptoms during the first 24 h after subjects consumed 50 g of carbohydrate from maltodextrin (white bars) or gamma-cyclodextrin (black bars) in a crossover design. Intensity was set to a 10-cm line scale (0 representing [absent] and 10 [severe]). Values are mean ± SEM, n = 3132.
