Abstract:ABSTRACT
Background: Diet components significant effects on glucose homeostasis. A diet contains high saturated fat and fructose induces insulin resistance and enhanced blood glucose. In contrast, food containing flavonoids such as beet can improve glucose homeostasis via modulation of gene expression, e.g., AKT2, involving glucose metabolism.
Aims: This study were to evaluate the benefit of beet on AKT2 gene expression and fasting glucose.
Methods: Twenty wistar male was divided into five gr… Show more
