Front cover: Arabinoxylan Attenuates Type 2 Diabetes by Improvement of Carbohydrate, Lipid, and Amino Acid Metabolism

Mol. Nutr. Food Res. 2018, 62, 1800222 DOI: 10.1002/mnfr.201800222 Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia as a result of insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency. Metabolic disorder (such as in lipids, amino acids, nucleic acids, and organic acids) occurs at the onset and in the progression of T2D. In article number 1800222, Shaoping Nie and co-workers find that arabinoxylan from seeds Plantago asiatica L. attenuate T2D by improvement of carbohydrate, lipid, and amino acid metabolism.
