Dried Sea Cucumber May Help Prevent Diabetes and Its Complications, Study Finds

A study has found that sea cucumber, which is enjoyed by Asians such as Korea, can help prevent diabetes and complications.

A research team at the University of South Australia in Australia revealed that dried sea cucumber (dried sea cucumber) lowered the risk of type 2 diabetes by inhibiting the production of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), a compound associated with diabetes. Dried sea cucumber is a high-quality ingredient often used in Chinese dishes such as yusanseul, sea cucumber soup, and sea cucumber juice.

The research team found that the salt extract and collagen components contained in the processed dried sea cucumber can lower the level of various metabolites related to sugar (sugar) in the body, suppress advanced glycation end products, and lower the risk of diabetes.

Advanced glycation end products are produced when proteins and fats combine with sugar in the bloodstream. When this substance accumulates in the body, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes complications such as heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, kidney disease (kidney disease) and cancer increases.

Dr. Permal Deo (Biomedicine), corresponding author of the research team, said, “Understanding the bioactive compounds in sea cucumber can prevent type 2 diabetes and its complications.”

The research team paid attention to the various therapeutic properties of sea cucumber, such as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and explored bioactive compounds as advanced glycation end product inhibitors. These new bioactive compounds from medicinal plants and foods are considered as potential therapeutic candidates to prevent diabetes and its complications.

To date, there are no diabetes treatment drugs or functional foods that have been developed using the action of dried sea cucumber to inhibit the production of advanced glycation end products. The research team predicted that sea cucumber could be developed as a functional food that helps prevent diabetes and its complications. About 60% of cases of type 2 diabetes can be delayed or prevented by improving diet and lifestyle.

The results of this study (Holothuria scabra Jaegar 1833 (Sandfish) extracts and collagens modulate protein-bound Nε-carboxymethyllysine, Nε-carboxyethyllysine and methylglyoxal-derived hydroimidazolone-1 levels) were published in the International Journal of Food Science & Technology. ≫It was published in.
