| Zusammenfassung: | Certain compounds in coffee inhibit a substance linked to causing type 2 diabetes, according to a study published in Journal of Agriculture & Food Chemistry. Research has shown that the misfolding of human islet amyloid polypeptide may be a cause of type 2 diabetes. The researchers in this particular study examined the effects of coffee extracts caffeine, caffeic acid, and chlorogenic acid as well as dihydrocaffeic acid (a metabolite of chiorogenic acid and caffeic acid) on the amyloidogenicity of human islet amyloid polypeptide. |
