 Posted by Chantel M. Contributed by US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health


In the investigation of Genistein ameliorates hyperglycemia in a mouse model of nongenetic type 2 diabetes, posted in PubMed, found that Genistein increased the number of insulin-positive β-cell in islets, promoted islet β-cell survival, and preserved islet mass. In conclusion, dietary intake of genistein could prevent T2D via a direct protective action on β-cells without alteration of periphery insulin sensitivity.
