In conclusion , polyphenols can successfully reduce HbA1c in T2DM without any intervention at glycemia , and could contribute to the prevention of diabetes complications
ABSTRACT Polyphenols have been extensively studied for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties .
Recently , their antiglycative actions by oxidative stress modulation have been linked to the prevention of diabetes and associated complications .
This article assesses the evidence for polyphenol interventions on glycohemoglobin ( HbA1c ) in non-diabetic , pre-diabetic , and type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2DM ) subjects .
Antioxidant intakes and food sources in Greek adults.
Antioxidants are compounds physiologically produced or provided through the diet with a potential to inhibit the oxidation of important biological molecules , such as proteins , lipids , and DNA . The contemporary Greek diet is still strongly influenced by Mediterranean dietary traditions . The traditional Mediterranean diet ( MD ) is a plant-based diet with apparently beneficial health properties , to which a high antioxidant content may contribute . To explore this issue in detail , a data base of the content of > 200  Greek foods and recipes for a wide spectrum of antioxidant compounds and indices ( flavonoids , proanthocyannidins , other antioxidant microcomponents , and total antioxidant capacity ) was developed . The data base enabled the estimation of antioxidant intakes in Greece using the population -based European Prospect i ve Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition study , in which > 28,000 Greeks participate . The results of this work suggest that the contemporary MD in the Greek population is a rich source of a variety of antioxidants . These data can be used in studies about the relationship between antioxidant intake and chronic diseases in the Greek population
