The journal Plants recently published an article entitled “Tea Consumption and Diabetes: A Comprehensive Pharmacological Review of Black, White, Green, Oolong, and Pu-erh Teas.”
This review documents updated pharmacological evidence and insights into the antidiabetic mechanisms of green, black, white, oolong, and pu-erh teas through informed experimental and clinical models to encourage their use as a complementary nutraceutical in the management of biochemical alterations found in the onset and progression of diabetes.
It compiles the evidence by identifying articles published in PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect since 2010 that reported the antidiabetic, antilipidemic, and digestive enzyme-inhibiting effects of selected tea types.
The results of this study were published in the special issue of the journal Plants, entitled “Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Metabolic Diseases: Therapeutic Roles of Plant Natural Products.”
