Abstract
Purpose: In chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, dysbiosis is associated with inflammation and cardiovascular risk, so many nutritional strategies are being studied to reduce these complications. Resistant starch (RS) can be considered a prebiotic that promotes many benefits, including modulation of gut microbiota which is linked to immune-modulatory effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of RS supplementation on proinflammatory cytokines in CKD patients on hemodialysis (HD). Methods: A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial was conducted with sixteen HD patients (55.3 ± 10.05 years, body mass index (BMI) 25.9 ± 5.42 kg/m2, 56% men, time on dialysis 38.9 ± 29.23 months). They were allocated to the RS group (16 g RS/day) or placebo group (manioc flour). The serum concentration of ten cytokines and growth factors was detected through a multiparametric immunoassay based on XMap-labeled magnetic microbeads (Luminex Corp, USA) before and after 4 weeks with RS supplementation. Results: After RS supplementation, there was a reduction of Regulated upon Activation, Normal T-Cell Expressed and Secreted (p < 0.001), platelet-derived growth factor (two B subunits) (p = 0.014) and interferon-inducible protein 10 (IP-10) (p = 0.027). The other parameters did not change significantly. Conclusion: This preliminary result indicates that RS may contribute to a desirable profile of inflammatory markers in CKD patients.
