Resveratrol has the potential to treat diabetes

Jason Dyck has long believed that resveratrol may be a powerful antioxidant Professor of pediatrics at the University of Alberta spent several years studying natural compounds to explore the potential benefits of resveratrol for exercise, lowering blood pressure and heart health (http:// Finally, resveratrol has the potential to treat diabetes Although resveratrol has been shown to work in obese patients, researchers have found that the amount of resveratrol circulating in the blood is very low, which makes scientists question the working mechanism of resveratrol In a new study published in the journal Diabetes, the researchers examined the effect of resveratrol on gut bacteria or microbial communities in obese mice The team found that feeding resveratrol obese mice for six weeks could change the composition of intestinal bacteria and improve glucose tolerance To expand the results, the scientists carried out a second experiment, extending resveratrol from six weeks to eight weeks in healthy mice Dyck said he believes there are other things in the mixture that lead to improved glucose balance in obese mice, and researchers are trying to isolate the unknown compound The team believes that these findings can open up a new way for future diabetic patients.
