Another possible benefit with regard to the action of amylase is the possible prevention of the development of insulin resistance, which usually develops due to the unnecessarily high levels of insulin released during carbohydrate consumption—for review, see Pierzynowski et al. [35], where numerous recent papers are cited that describe an inverse relationship between blood amylase levels and obesity (diabetes type 2) in both children and adults. The gene discussed is INS; the disease is Insulin resistance.
