Diabetes Care
Diabetes mellitus constitutes a global health challenge with profound implications on cardiovascular,
neurological, and immune functions. In recent years, attention has been directed toward bioactive compounds
within seaweeds, such as Oligo Fucoidan and Fucoxanthin, due to their prospective anti-diabetic properties.
Oligo Fucoidan is posited to exhibit anti-diabetic attributes encompassing antioxidant, anti-inflammatory,
and hypoglycemic characteristics. Meanwhile, Fucoxanthin has shown promise in modulating lipid metabolism
and enhancing insulin sensitivity.
Potential Benefits of Oligo Fucoidan and Fucoxanthin in the Management of Diabetes
- Exhibit a-amylase and a-glucosidase inhibitory activity in vitro
- Enhance insulin release in vitro
- Ameliorate pancreatic β-cell death and impaired insulin synthesis
- Improve hepatic glucose metabolism
- Decrease in urinary sugar and on glucose
- Significant decrease HbA1C index of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) patient
