Abstract

Purpose of review: Diabetes mellitus is a prevalent metabolic disorder contributing to significant global health challenges. As interest in alternative therapies grows, flaxseed rich in omega-3 fatty acids, lignans, and fiber has garnered attention for its potential role in diabetes management.

Recent findings: The reviewed literature suggested that various components present in flaxseeds are known to combat impaired carbohydrate metabolism including the other associated diabetic abnormalities like oxidative stress markers, inflammation, and hypercholesterolemia. Taken together, this review has highlighted the essential constituents of flaxseed and their potential mechanisms in reducing fasting blood glucose levels, alleviating oxidative stress, balancing lipid profiles, and regulating inflammatory markers in individuals with diabetes. Flaxseed, whether consumed whole or in various processed forms, may serve as a complementary therapy alongside conventional antidiabetic medications.

亚麻籽在糖尿病管理：营养和治疗的见解。

综述目的：糖尿病是一种普遍存在的代谢性疾病，对全球健康构成重大挑战。随着人们对替代疗法的兴趣日益浓厚，富含omega-3脂肪酸、木脂素和纤维的亚麻籽因其在糖尿病治疗中的潜在作用而引起了人们的关注。最近的发现：文献综述表明，亚麻籽中存在的各种成分可以对抗碳水化合物代谢受损，包括其他相关的糖尿病异常，如氧化应激标志物、炎症和高胆固醇血症。综上所述，本综述强调了亚麻籽的基本成分及其在降低糖尿病患者空腹血糖水平、减轻氧化应激、平衡脂质谱和调节炎症标志物方面的潜在机制。亚麻籽，无论是整个食用还是各种加工形式，都可以作为常规抗糖尿病药物的补充疗法。

期刊介绍： This journal aims to provide comprehensive review articles that emphasize significant developments in nutrition research emerging in recent publications. By presenting clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to discuss the influence of nutrition on major health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and obesity, as well as the impact of nutrition on genetics, metabolic function, and public health. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of more than 25 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, suggests topics of special importance to their country/region, and ensures that topics and current and include emerging research.
