Research has confirmed that a food's glycemic effect cannot be accurately predicted from the type and amount of carbohydrates it contains, as the rate at which the carbohydrates is digested and released into the bloodstream is influenced by many factors such as the food's physical form, its fat,

The aim of this human intervention study is to evaluate the impact of a botanical-based extract on gut health, immunity and metabolic disorders in healthy adults.

Diabetes is a major health problem and one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Lifestyle and particularly dietary habits are considered key issues in both the prevention and management of the disease aimed at achieving an adequate glycemic control or at delaying the onset of

Diabetes mellitus is a complex heterogeneous group of metabolic conditions characterized by increased levels of blood glucose due to impairment in insulin action and/or insulin secretion. Diabetes is a condition primarily defined by the level of hyperglycemia giving rise to risk of microvascular

Recent studies suggest the potential of polyphenols as a supplementary treatment to delay or prevent the onset of diabetes owing to their biological properties. Polyphenols are natural phytochemical compounds found in fruits and vegetables. The most common group of phenolic compounds in our diet are

Recent studies suggest the potential of polyphenols as a supplementary treatment for diabetes mellitus owing to their biological properties. Polyphenols are natural phytochemical compounds found in fruits and vegetables. The most common group of phenolic compounds in our diet are phenolic acids and

Hypertension has become one of the most common diseases in the world and considered a public health challenge due to its association with morbidity and mortality and increased cost to society. Hypertension is the most important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease,

Progress of research. Timeframe Search - Duration of inclusions: 30 months - Duration of patient follow-up: 7 months - Total duration of the study: 37 months Within the framework of their coverage in AMP, the barren couples have a consultation with the doctors of the reproduction and one with the

Dietary strategies for alleviating health complications, such as premature vascular disease, associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity are actively being pursued as alternatives to pharmaceutical interventions. The genus Vaccinium (e.g. blueberry, bilberry, cranberry) has been used

In Pompe disease, deficiency of the enzyme acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) results in accumulation of glycogen within the lyososomes of numerous tissues and cell types especially in muscular cells. Pompe disease is pan ethnic (but with increased prevalence in the afro-American and Chinese population).

Acarbose, an alpha-glucosidase-inhibitor, delays the release of glucose out of complex carbohydrates in the upper small intestine. The digestion of carbohydrates after acarbose intake therefore mainly takes place in the lower small intestine and colon. Through this innovative mode of action the
