Zinc in Pancreatic Islet Biology, Insulin Sensitivity, and Diabetes
About 20 chemical elements are nutritionally essential for humans with defined molecular functions. Several essential and nonessential biometals are either functional nutrients with antidiabetic actions or can be diabetogenic. A key question remains whether changes in the metabolism of biometals and biominerals are a consequence of diabetes or are involved in its etiology. Exploration of the roles of zinc (Zn) in this regard is most revealing because 80 years of scientific discoveries link zinc and diabetes. In pancreatic ...

Correlations of dietary energy and protein intakes with renal function impairment in chronic kidney disease patients with or without diabetes
Dietary energy and protein intake can affect progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD complicated with diabetes is often associated with a decline in renal function. We investigated the relative importance of dietary energy intake (DEI) and dietary protein intake (DPI) to renal function indicators in nondiabetic and diabetic CKD patients. A total of 539 Stage 3e5 CKD patients [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 ...

Black tea consumption improves postprandial glycemic control in normal and pre-diabetic subjects: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study
Postprandial glycemic control is important for prevention of diabetes. Black tea consumption may improve postprandial glycemic control. The major bioactive compounds are polyphenols, black tea polymerized polyphenol (BTPP).This study examined the effect of black tea consumption on postprandial blood glucose and insulin response following sucrose loading in normal and pre-diabetes subjects. Methods and Study Design: This study was a ...

Bioactive Compounds and Their Neuroprotective Effects in Diabetic Complications
Hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and impaired insulin signaling during the development of diabetes can cause diabetic omplications, such as diabetic neuropathy, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Although various therapeutics are available for the reatment of diabetic neuropathy, no absolute cure exists, and dditional research is necessary to comprehensively understand the underlying pathophysiological pathways. A number of studies have demonstrated the potential health benefits of bioactive compoun...
