Seafood and Cucumber Combo: A Potential Diabetes Treatment?
Processed dried sea cucumber with salt extracts can inhibit the formation of Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs), compounds associated with an increased risk of diabetes and its complications, such as heart disease, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, kidney disease, and cancer. The bioactive compounds in sea cucumbers could protect against Type 2 Diabetes. The research opens possibilities for the development of a functional food to prevent the onset of the disease and its complications.
