Starch was used for incorporating the erogenous cholesterol ester and [3H] Cholesteryl ethers into rat high density lipoprotein (HDL).It was used for preparing Ac medium for studying the fungal diversity in deep-sea hydrothermal ecosystems.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Starch is a carbohydrate made up of glucose units joined by glycosidic bonds. Undigested part of potato starch is referred as Resistant starch (RS). Resistant starch, RS4 reduces the concentrations of total cholesterol and triglycerides in the serum as well as enhances the concentration of HDL-cholesterol in Wistar rats.
