NCIt definition : A starch derived from corn grain and used as food or food ingredient, with potential
anti-hypoglycemic activity. Upon ingestion, corn starch is broken down and releases
glucose in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Glucose is taken up in the bloodstream
and maintains as well as stabilizes glucose levels. This may prevent or improve hypoglycemia
in patients with glycogen storage disease or insulinomas.;
