研究發現益生菌有助改善糖尿指數 Probiotic improves diabetes markers

一項最新研究發現,一種常見的益生菌或能改善2型糖尿病患者的健康狀況。在為期8週的臨床實驗中,患者的空腹血糖值、胰島素濃度和胰島素抵抗性均顯著下降。

40名患有2型糖尿病的成年人參加了這項實驗,其中一半每日服用一片乾酪乳桿菌(Lactobacillus casei),其他人服用安慰劑。 在研究期的開始和結束時分別為病人抽取血液樣本作檢查,并得出以上結論。

此外,服用益生菌的組別其他健康指標也有所改善,包括體重和體重指數(BMI)。


A common probiotic bacteria appears to improve the health of people with type 2 diabetes.  Fasting blood sugar, insulin concentration, and insulin resistance all decreased significantly in a new eight-week trial.
Forty adults with Type 2 diabetes participated, with half taking daily capsules of Lactobacillus casei and the others taking a placebo.  Blood samples were accessed at the beginning and the end of the study period.
Other health markers also improved in the probiotic group, including weight and body mass index.
