(1993) found that although ingestion of both types of resistant starch lowered the cecal pH and increased the calcium concentrations in the liquid phase of the cecal contents, only ingestion of the native resistant starch lowered the ileal pH and increased the calcium and magnesium concentrations in the liquid phase of the ileal contents.
