Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata): A food with functional properties aimed to type 2 diabetes prevention and management

Abstract: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing the prevalence worldwide at an alarming rate, becoming a serious public health problem that mainly affects developing countries. Functional food research is currently of great interest because it contributes to developing nutritional therapy strategies for T2DM prevention and treatment. Bioactive compounds identified in some plant foods contribute to human health by mechanisms of action that exert biological effects on metabolic pathways involved in the development… Show more

“…However, a study by Ref. [ 30 ] reported lower levels of protein (1.47 g) and higher levels of sugar (5.71 g) per 100 g of dry weight cabbage (see Table 4 ). The discrepancy in sugar content may be attributed to various factors, such as the physiological state of the plant, environmental conditions or storage, or the inclusion of total fibers in the sugar measurement.…”

“…According to epidemiological studies, crucifers such as cabbage may reduce the risk of T2DM due to the presence of bioactive compounds (e.g., vitamins, fibre, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, among others) which support the attenuation of oxidative stress, obesity, insulin resistance and hyperglycaemia [ 39 ]. However, according to the results of a recent systematic review and meta-analysis, brassica vegetables have no significant impact on the serum levels of triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, fasting blood sugar and HbA1c in adults [ 49 ].…”

“…Brassicaceae (crucifers) is one of the most extensive angiosperm families, composed of 360 genera and approximately 3709 species distributed worldwide. One important species is cabbage, that is an essential part of the human diet thanks to its high nutritional value, mainly due to its content in fiber, minerals and vitamins (99). Cabbage exhibits anti-aging, anticancer and antioxidant properties, and presents multiple health benefits (100).…”
